You are assuming that FORE will be acquired. I am simply suggesting that it may not be after all. Much as I hope it will!

Apples to apples, please... Both Fibex and Sentient are ATM access equipment makers (read the press release), and they are being acquired for $445 million. FORE's focused on ATM backbone equipment and its market cap is $2.5 billion. So there's no comparison between FORE and the Fibex/Sentient combo. Even if Cisco was interested in buying FORE, the present acquisition does not put them out of the list of possible suitors. However, I don't see Cisco interested in buying FORE. If they were, they would have made their move by now. Good luck to the bunch.
