Most technical folk basically thought the notion of a lu/3com merger
was a joke, in fact, the board was talking about the implications of an lu/asnd deal.


Franco,

Any analyst or press reporter who would even suggest LU/COMS merger possibility is very ignorant about networking. He/she would have no credibility with me. INTC maybe, but LU? I think Boston Chicken would be a better possibility.

On the asnd support board, I latched onto a discussion by technical managers and administrators who install use & live by asend and other comms gear.

Hey Franco, what is the URL for this ASND support board? I think we all would like to take a look. Thanks! Have a great weekend!

<<Any thoughts on this kind of behavior? Does anybody out there know if in fact lu has been selling asnd gear??? Inquiring minds would like to know...
-Franco:-),>>

That is a fact. I work across the Interstate from a Lucent facility, and our rep indicated to me over 1 year ago that LU was "closely partnering" with ASND. That being said, LU partners with many companies including Bay, Nice Systems, etc.
