I remember they blew through an enormous amount of cash, there were talks about restructuring, and then nothing more was heard. The name of the spinoff escapes me, but I seem to recall it was one of those made-up words with an "uplifting" tone. Not sure what happened to them (I moved to America) but I always thought it was an excellent idea, so thankfully it looks like they've ironed out the bugs. Speaking of Nortel spinoffs, there seems to be an awful lot of them these days. Does anyone have any comments/opinions on NorVergence? I work for a very well-respected NYC-based arty nonprofit, and we're considering using a NorVergence-like product (Voice over ATM) to reduce our very significant telco costs. I've scoured the net for opinions/reviews of the NorVergence/Nortel product, but little is out there. Might any of the list subscribers have comments on NorVergence/the Nortel Matrix product? Thanks, RMT. ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
