DLC (digital loop carrier) equipment made by Lucent and DSC has been increasingly used by all the RBOCS. I don't have the numbers but the percentage of all "local loops" served by DLC's are significant - 20% to 40%. Service is much more reliable especially broadband data. In addition to that, maintenance costs are reduced dramatically. WSTL has been developing plug-in cards with both of these vendors. I can't see how that does not make a strong case for WSTL. I'm a technician for one of the Bells (not BA) and have seen this DLC equipment. Joe

dug-- well, for the love of God dont qoute me on it<G>! 3com, at least to me, seems the unknown quantity in all this. nortel is busy pimping that ethernet derivative (WHEN will metcalfe give it the fuck up?!?!?!??!), CSCO seems pleased with netspeed, fujitsu is playing WSTL against ORCTF (as is LU). the big boys are pretty much spoken for. now, we might get something interesting out of an ALA/MOT merger, but its doubtful. i cant remember the last time anything interesting came out of either one<G>. and yes, i was selling today. good luck to all, trey
