As for competition, keep an eye on Bay. They are putting some serious effort into Internet development. The hardware is already there, and has been there for a long time. The software is getting there very quickly, especially with companies like mine and ANS working with them. I have a feeling Cisco will always be in the lead, but they may not have such a comfortable lead for much longer. Which is a Good Thing, since competition fuels development.
-Jon And what do you think about Ascend's effort to get big piece of this market via their new back-bone router?
