... Ascends's folks who had to take their switches back because they were starting central offices on fire ... Huh? I think she is referring to the TNT heating problem in the summer of 1997.

She's just digging up dirt from last fall. Early introductions of the MAX TNT were burning up if they were fully configured. Fan problem easily fixed.

My only point was that all companies have glitches. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Contrary to what's been said about NN, the fact they sell to carriers means their equipment meets telco/IXC standards. It's no state secret they're a lot more stringent than those for data networks. The challenge, of course, is to offer merged data-voice QoS being demanded by the carriers. I've said over and over I like ASND. I just happen to like NN more. Regards, Pat
