Mang, It's harder than you expect for CPQ, INTC, HP, etc.,etc., to get into networking. Just for example, CPQ is looking to buy CS to get networking division going. Does this not tell you enough? Don't underrate what COMS has. One of them being the ability to consantly move the pricing leverage with much more ease than it's competition. It will eat CPQ's lunch all day long. There is also the quality issue. Look how much break downs there are in networking. I've got my own stories. Remember Steve's with CSCO's? Quality will be a bigger and bigger issue in '99. You just can't slap together any old network products, even when they seem to be commodity items. Eric B. undertalks the interoperability, and it's hard not to come across as an engineer, but this is one of COMS great advantages. Just talk to ANY distributor or VAR and you will see who makes the best products. joe
