Tom, I believe Gary is alluding to the AOL router problem when AOL's network crashed. It was Cabletron who blamed Cisco for the failure due to a router code issue. I don't believe Ascend was even in the picture. And by the way, it was a problem with Cisco's router code that caused that AOL outage. But the most important thing is Cisco worked incredibly hard to correct the problem with AOL just like they did with AT&T. That is what keeps customers, not pointing fingers. Even though I feel Cisco's stock is extremely bloated and due for a major correction I can't fault their success. Its just that their stock like a lot other companies (Coca Cola, AOL, Yahoo, Dell, etc.) is totally out of touch with reality. Cheers, Steve
