Re: (ASCEND) Don't look so hot...



  I've also heard that Cisco own's a large part of Lanquest. So they
seem to have lanquest in thier Hip Pocket.. I read this Tolly group

out at ISPCON. Pretty much if you pay for it you win. 
 
  Hey, Maybe I'll start a company and do comparasion reports and makes
lots of money :)
