I have no direct experience with Ascend. But I have used a pipline ISDN product and had some dealings with the company. Hopefully, somebody with more direct Ascend experience will fix up whatever inaccuracies that exist on this page. Dyl 18:30, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

Details of Ascend's history[edit]

I [am proud to say I] worked for Ascend - in their Reston Virginia office - for many years. I was part of their acquisition of Stratus Computers and worked on the Telco equipment. There is a great history of the company at http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Ascend-Communications-Inc-Company-History.html which could be used as reference/citation.
