Jim, Love your language. Yes, the system I'm referring to is the old Clarity Wireless system that was acquired by Cisco. The system worked beautifully. We sold over $100M of equipment in the final year which would make most companies happy (and is quite a bit more than most wireless companies are making these days), but Cisco wants a division to make $1B/yr. Cisco cancelled the products because Sprint and Worldcom couldn't make a decision to move forward with wireless service. (We've all since found out why Worldcom couldn't proceed).
