    If your Cisco Systems trying to sell small rack mount switches for $3,000 - $4,000 . And Juniper, Extreme, and others...come along for alot less, and start taking ur pie what do you do ??? Lay off the Engineers and programmers!! Yeah, that's it, its there fault, they demanded expensive components, and and and..... B.S. Good Sales ppl should be kept, Good programmers and Engineers should be kept . I saw crap Engineers and crap programmers kept, and All of the marketing maggots and sales maggots keep their jobs . Some "INCREDIBLE" ppl were let go becasue they had tactical options, tactical 401k, tactical salaries . Alot of this went down and is being used to de-value the labor force, and the H1-B's are just part of that . We got 30,000 Middle Eastern worker visas in this country that are expired, and the governments plans are to question them . Not deport them . The cheap labor is the key, the fact that the average H1-B can be pressured into working REALLY long hours . I can do 10 - 11 hour days, but doing the 13- 14 hours days 6 days a week like I saw some do at Cisco Systems, no not for the Suits playing their shell game that pumped and dumped and sold huge amounts of stock right before there released SEC filings . Its happened at MANY companies, it is going to continue to happen . The house and the senate prior to 9-11, even in the face of the DOT COM bust !!! VOTED... To DOUBLE, from 100,000 to 200,000 per year the number of migrant H1-B visa workers coming into the country per YEAR .... It passed by how much ???? 98-1 on the vote.... My god, when is the last time ANY vote got 98-1 in that corrupt flea ridden bag of lawyer perpetuating scum . Come to find out a professor at Univ. of Davis from Calif. went and complained to them, and called them out on the fact that the Tech Industry lobbied them with $22 million in cash ( and prizes, of the record ) on the record . 12 mill to the republicans 10 mill to the Dems So, if you want to know where your american dream went, it was sold . I want the ppl overseas to have jobs too, but here is the deal, you do not like americans in your countries workign high paying jobs, and actively seek to end it . Don't play the hypocite with me, and cry what a pig I am , we voted the senate and the house in to REPRESENT us . They are getting piad by us, to REPRESENT us . They are really little corporate whores , that will sell out at the drop of a hat . ...I need to calm down ... peace Out... Ex-MislTech

    I concur, I started back on 8 bit machines,

    went to the military and worked on missile

    Got back out, went into Bio-med, bank equipment,
    and then Telecom and networking for the ...

    "THE" Voip debacle ...

    So now I am doing contract desktop support
    wherever I can find it, while knocking out
    all the certifications I can .

    Such is life, corporate America by and large
    looks at the hardcore Techs as being
    responsible for the DOT COM crunch and felt
    we over charged them for a game plan that
    didn't work .

    What they forget is, that we often complained
    that their pre-conceived idiocies were bad
    ideas often with bitter rebukes from them .

    Bottom line is...it was their game plan,
    not ours, we just did our best to implement .

    As long as Non-Tech ppl are making descisions
    for Tech companies, you are gonna get suits
    running the show, and offering champagne
    and caviar to clients at sales demos
    just like Cisco Systems did when I worked for
    them .

    Furniture was not sold when it was no longer
    appealing to the marketing pukes, they threw
    it in the dumpsters . Hell the CFO released
    a memo chastizing them for this behaviour .

    Carte Blanche' for Sales, marketing, and Suits.

    Look at Winstar, half or more of their ppl
    just flushed like yesterdays news .

    Look at Broadband Office, or Zephion the
    last ditch prayer spin-off .

    pathetic ...

    Alot of these companies sole goals was to get
    bought and cash out, greed vs. goals .

    Oh so many Enrons, Oh so many shell games,
    so many filthy rich execs taking millions
    of dollars of money that was entrusted to them
    on belief in their honesty, integrity, and
    knowledge .

    When in fact it was all a ruse, to scam just
    as much cash as they can .

    Ding Ding Ding... Correct !!! http://www.cedmagazine.com/ced/0009/9001.htm AirFiberÂ's OptiMesh topology supports a mesh network of point-to-point wireless optical links using 785 nm lasers, each operating at 622 Mbps. The links are established between rooftop nodes that serve as an access point for that building, as well as a relay point for traffic originating elsewhere in the mesh. Each pole-mounted node is equipped with up to four optical transceivers, a standard drop to the building (an OC-3c/STM-1 or OC-12c/STM-4 interface), a control processor, a compact ATM switch that picks out the traffic for the building it serves, and cross-platform element management system software.

TeraBeamÂ's Fiberless Optical Network system features a point-to-multipoint (hub-and-spoke) configuration using 1550 nm lasers.
