Nortel News: Rethinking Bay Networks Acquisition, Delisting Threat

I was an engineer at Bay Networks at the time.
There were plenty of things that didn't make sense to us.
There were some short term issues with Nortel suddenly being
scrutenized as a datacom company, but that's temporary.
My two biggest concerns were that Nortel considered Bay as
a well-running that didn't need fixing, when in fact the Bay employees
were hoping for changes.
The other concern is that some router projects were cancelled because they overlapped with existing Nortel products insofar as "speeds and feeds", but didn't cover the router functionality.
