<< gfr fan, thanks, I didn't think 3com had gotten into the core network ATM market(I'm sooo out of date..)>> COMS ATM switch (PB S700) is not a core WAN switch for carriers - it is considered an access WAN switch - it sits in front of core switches and aggregates traffic. Some enterprises use it as a core switch. While COMS is knocked as an edge player, they have the technology to go end-to-end for any enterprise (and do so for many enterprises) and can play as the intelligent aggregator in the carrier cloud.
