In a statement, VLSI said it rejected Philips' $17-per-share offer based on presentations from financial advisers, but the chip maker said it believed ''interested parties,'' which could include Philips, will recognize ''the strong business potential'' of the company. infoseek.go.com I have VLSI, but that was sort of a whim..and it is being taken out. o~~~ O

Hey, Duane, I have a comment on your post, >>>My own field was telecom, so I tend to favor some companies in that area, and especially like VTSS for its specialized gallium arsenide chips,<<< I'm perplexed about Gallium Arsenide and VTSS. It seems to me that silicon is closing in on Gallium wrt speed, and it certainly has it all over Ge in density, manufacturability, yields, you name it. So, what's the future of VTSS? I mean, LSI itself should be threatening VTSS in the area of high speed switches for telecom, ATE, etc. I must be wrong because Vitesse keeps on growing. Cheers on a Friday, Tony
