- This is absolutely not true. We participated in Bradner Performance
- Tests, and Datacom Lab Tests just very recently. Results are published
- elsewhere. We did not participate in INTEROP Fall. '92 this year
- because we had done similar tests before at INTEROP.
-
- We will never adopt the IBM attitude if it means we are alienating our
- customer base.
