As I tried to emphasize on the phone call, there will be short-term and long-term efforts to utilize OPNET. Often the short-term needs rules at EBS. We will sort out what they during our discussion in Houston. I am confirming the meeting in Houston 6-8th. I shall ask Shirely Crenshaw to arrange for a conference room on the 19th floor. The meeting will be held all day from April 6th, 7th and half day 8th. The 8th is a saturday and the meeting will be held to wrap things up if needed. Ravi. Background info. for Enron Research People. OPNET is a simulation tool that many in the industry use to do capacity planning to IP based applications and services on a network. Detail adenda will follow. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the time we had this morning to discuss the performance engineering program at EBS. I think you'll find that the value to Enron from the overall approach is quite high. I have a much better picture now of some of the short term drivers that need to be addressed as we move forward. As I work with you, I think we'll quickly emerge with a clear picture of what needs to be done and when. As soon as you confirm your schedule for April 6-8, I'll book my travel to get to Houston. I've already put in a call to OPNET Technologies to have them get a resource out to Houston on one of those days for a demonstration and Q & A about the OPNET toolset. I'll compose an agenda for us to use during that meeting in Houston and get it out to you next week. If there are any questions, please email me at ozaidi@lucent.com You can also call me at 503 778 0653. I am also pageable at 1 800 467 1467. Have a great weekend and I look forward to hearing from you next week about the April 6-8 meeting. Best wishes....
