Dear David, refer to posts 791 & 793 which discuss the importance of Linkons LinkNet IP Telephony Gateway. It is my understanding that AT&T is Linkons major customer. Now refer to the Cisco/General Instrument announcement as it relates to AT&T. No mention of Linkon and IP Telophony. Maybe someone could let us know if this is NOT bad news. HORSHAM, Penn. and SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 7, 1999--Cisco Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CSCO - news) and General Instrument Corporation (NYSE: GIC - news) announced today that they intend to work with AT&T on a non-exclusive basis to develop and trial a seamless, end-to-end Internet Protocol (IP) solution that would allow AT&T to offer data, voice and video services over the hybrid fiber-coax network now being deployed by AT&T and TCI. Although specific agreements have not been reached, the Cisco/GI IP telephony solution under development would allow AT&T to offer its customers the ability to simultaneously watch television, send and receive faxes, surf the World Wide Web and talk on the telephone. ''Cisco's collaboration with AT&T and GI will result in a New World network that will fundamentally change the way communications services are delivered to the consumer market,'' said John Chambers, president and CEO of Cisco Systems, Inc. ''By combining broadband Internet, phone and video services over a single cable line, we are taking a major step towards implementing future integrated data, voice and video telecommunications on a mass market scale.'' ''The HFC IP telephony system being developed by Cisco and GI will establish the benchmark for integrated broadband service platforms, leading the way for the industry. We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to partner with Cisco and AT&T on this groundbreaking project,'' said Edward Breen, chairman and chief executive officer of General Instrument. The proposed AT&T broadband network would combine advanced networking and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) technologies to enable cost-effective delivery of consumer services while streamlining

operational demands. Using broadband packet technologies, data, voice and video services that traditionally required construction of multiple parallel legacy networks would be delivered using one integrated high-speed infrastructure. The IP backbone, as proposed by Cisco and GI, would contain the Cisco 12000 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR), a multi-gigabit, carrier-class, IP backbone router, and the Universal Broadband Router (uBR), a cost-effective, scalable interface between subscriber cable modems and the backbone data network. The packet telephony gateways would be based on the Cisco AS5X00, voice-over-IP gateway servers. Cisco, with cooperation from Cisco partners, proposes to deliver management, call processing and provisioning/activation solutions used in the AT&T deployment. This combination of leading Internet technologies from Cisco and best-of-breed partners would enable a suite of advanced services that will be more efficient to manage, have greater application flexibility, and lower costs for the end user. Perhaps, I am wrong, but this does not seem to be good for LKON. JWA
