Glenn -- TM mentioned directory management and specifically FastLane several times at the AGM. He didn't mention the Microsoft beta tests so this comes as a pleasant surprise. I'm also hoping we can get more light on the AT&T-MSFT contract for ATM. It being managed corporate environments certainly appears to be NN's solution. att.com The Newbridge* Global Services Management Platform (GSMP) has been designed for the global reach and extensive scope of the AT&T Managed Bandwidth Service. AT&T Managed Bandwidth Service brings together the strengths of AT&T private line, frame relay and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) service offering with the power of the Newbridge GSMP and networking equipment into a single managed solution for corporate network voice, image, video and data traffic requirements. I'll see if I can find out more. Later --- Pat
