Lucent Eyeing Optical Networks For Growth From CRN on 9/21. Cisco needs optical networking capability. LU is already focused on it. By KimberlyÿCaisse Murray Hill, N.J. 5:51 PM EST Mon., Sept. 21, 1998 .............. Lucent plans to maintain its growth by selling products in market segments such as optical networks, wireless infrastructure, communications software and data networking, and taking share away from competitors in those areas, said a senior executive at the data communications company. Speaking at a press briefing here last Friday, Dan Stanzione, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Lucent, said the company is betting that entering the optical networks market will ensure the company's lead in the next generation of networking equipment. These kinds of networks are not expected to take hold for at least two more years, Lucent executive said. for more please go to: CRN.com link 9/21 (in the archive)

FYI, the gritch Java client you load from www.isld.com is an Island order book viewer. It is not level II, though it will show a view of open limit orders in the Island ECN (electronic crossing network?) at some point in time. It is like level II in that it shows buy/sell strength at different price points, but it is not like LII in that the entire market (hundreds of market makers and several ECNs) are not represented. It is free, when it works, but you get what you pay for! (Oh, and if you try to run several windows ... plan on re-booting - usually just when trying to confirm a trade ;-).)
