I REALLY thought they'd be the one considering that Nortel bought them. I
was working for a huge Nortel dealer (for phone stuff) and we played with
their Bay/Wellfleet stuff in evals but hated it. Basically, Nortel raped
Bay/Micom for knowlege/patents and moved that stuff to some funky/shitty
VoIP cards for the Option series phone switches.
