Yikes, my words coming back to haunt me. That was long ago and at the time, we had several customers who were interested in AO/DI. But the specification wasn't ready. Since then, we have had no major customers (read carriers) who have committed in a major way to AO/DI. So we wait. Which will be first, the chicken or the egg. Or xDSL? Or cable modems, etc, etc. Matt Holdrege <A HREF="http://www.ascend.com">http://www.ascend.com</A> matt@ascend.com ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <HR> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg10981.html">(ASCEND) Pipeline family and Always On/DI?</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Steven Carlyle Ihde <sihde@CS.Stanford.EDU></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11005.html">Re: (ASCEND) GRF: up to it?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11002.html">Re: (ASCEND) BGP 4 ?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10981.html">(ASCEND) Pipeline family and Always On/DI?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11038.html">Re: (ASCEND) Pipeline family and Always On/DI?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail2.html#11003"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd250.html#11003"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
