Cisco to acquire Nortel?

Yesterday in Houston, a Nortel representative said to a customer that a Cisco acquisition of Nortel is in the works. He added that Nortel has been restructuring itself in anticipation to the acquisition.

Since I am at the Asterisk conference, I presented the above as a question to one of the conference speakers, who happens to be very knowledgeable about the two companies. His answer? "I have heard that claim before but I'll believe it when I see it... Nortel's hardware is excellent but its software sucks".

Any comments?
