Lu to buy ASND, COMS, or NN ?

I would also be interested in some discussion re the pros and cons of the various acquisition alternatives available to Lucent at this time.

Comments on why COMS would be a better target than ASND or vise-versa would be much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

My opinion is absolutley not. LU manufactures and specializes in high end stuff for carriers and large ISP's. This would be like GM buying Yugo (are Yugos still around any more?). What I give ALOT of credence to is Intel snapping up COMS. Now that sounds like a marriage made in heaven. Intel has made no bones about getting into networking in a major way and this seems like the way to go for them. Maybe even Dell buying 3com, but not LU.
