Nortel's core business is voice and they stick to it pretty well. For
routing/switching their history isn't so good. They bought out a pretty
nice company in Bay Networks, then put nothing into Rnd, fell way
behind, then bought Tasmin to try and get back in the game. How do we
know they won't do the same thing again. Their big money is in carrier
phone switches. We used to be all Nortel, now are all Cisco and happier
for it.
Sincerely,
Bill
