Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


Disposition of the Company's Equity Interest in Basis
Communications Corporation

On May 18, 2000 we sold our holdings of approximately 1 million
shares of Series A preferred stock in Basis Communications
Corporation ("Basis") to Intel Corporation ("Intel") for $61.2
million.  This sale was part of a tender offer whereby Intel
purchased the outstanding preferred & common stock of Basis for
$61.18 per share.  Also on this date, we exercised a warrant to
purchase 0.5 million shares of common stock in Basis at an
exercise price of $0.05 per share which we then sold to Intel for
$30.6 million.  Intel also paid us, on behalf of Basis, $12
million for two outstanding notes receivable from Basis plus
accrued interest of $1.4 million.

Intel withheld from the total consideration paid, $11.2 million
pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the merger agreement
between Intel and Basis.

As a result of the transactions described above, on May 18, 2000
we received from Intel cash totaling approximately $94 million.
In our financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2001,
we expect to report a gain on the sale of common and preferred
stock of Basis of approximately $79 million, a gain of $12
million related to the collection of the Basis notes receivable
which had previously been fully reserved, and interest income of
$1.4 million.
