Thanks. This from the October 12th Fiber Driver announcement: "Pricing and Availability Available today, the Fiber Driver has 51 different modules supporting Ethernet at 10/100/1000Mbps, FDDI, SONET at OC-3 and 12 as well as ATM. List prices range from $168 for a copper to multimode Ethernet module, to $7,000 for a gigabit ethernet module with a 45 kilometers range over a single strand. The SNMP management module lists at $735 and the one, four and sixteen slot chassis are $75, $500 and $735 respectively. All modules and chassis are currently available." If sales are already in the "hundreds" one month into the quarter, and about 1/2 are to domestic customers (shorter sales cycle), then Fiber Driver will contribute, perhaps significantly to Q4 revenue. As I stated, another reason I don't think there will be a loss in Q4.
