Hi Bob

I saw the location and thought it might be an ex-Lucent person. Lucent
had a huge telecomms software center in Columbus. Many 5ESS fault
management and provisioning applications were written there, mostly all
running on HP-UX. There is still some R&D there but the coding and
testing has all gone to China and India and the remaining apps are being
ported to Solaris and Linux. Even the smallest RP3440 (in a former
Compaq chassis) is a hard sell when the equivilent Sun box is a quarter
of the price.

Best regards

Ben
