I would appreciate it if in the future you either stay on topic, or state that you would prefer to end the discussion for whatever reason, or simply not reply. I attempted to clarify some of the merits and pitfalls of various approaches to sending packets, and why perhaps cash-strapped ISPs would elect to go with a routed approach, while Telcos and interstates would support one that was switched. Or at least that was where I was going. And what was your reply to me? >>Ascend's core switch systems business, particularly its ATM and frame relay product portfolios, are best in class in the industry. << And then you go on to quote various analysts' positive reports. The problem with your reply is that it gives the uninitiated or those who do not know me the impression that I am not a fan of ASND. On the contrary, I happen to be very impressed with ASND's emerging capabilities and achievments to date. Please don't paint a picture that you are besting the other party [me, in this case] through the use of unrelated arguments supported by irrelevant materials. I think that that's fair enough. Thanks.
