Ascend, in Alameda, Calif., is the fourth-largest maker of computer networking equipment and is expected to provide Lucent with expertise in Internet-style communications technology. The company has a line of equipment designed to help telecommuters make connections to their headquarters and to assist businesses in establishing computer and telephone networks.
