BEFORE THE BELL - Lucent falls NEW YORK, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Lucent Technologies Inc. fell 6-5/8 from its Tuesday close, to 101-1/4, in pre-open activity Wednesday after the company announced details of its plan to acquire Ascend Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:ASND - news). Internet-related stocks fell sharply in pre-open trade, but volume was thin with many investors on the sidelines following Brazil's effective devaluation of its currency, the real, traders said. Trading in Lucent and Ascend was fairly brisk. Ascend rose 3-1/8 from its Tuesday close, to 78-1/16. Lucent will acquire Ascend for about $20 billion in stock.
