          The following documents have been filed by Lucent Technologies

Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and are incorporated herein by reference

         1996.

     (2) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31,
         1996, March 31, 1997 (as amended by Form 10-Q/A #1 filed May 21,
         1997) and June 30, 1997.

     (3) The "Description of Capital Stock" section of the Company's
         Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC on February
         26, 1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on Form 10/A
         on March 12, 1996, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on Form 10/A on
         March 22, 1996 and Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on Form 10/A on
         April 1, 1996.

          All documents, filed subsequent to the date hereof by Lucent
Technologies with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment hereto which indicates that all
securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and made a part hereof from their respective dates of
filing (such documents, and the documents enumerated above, being
hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents"); provided, however,
that the documents enumerated above or subsequently filed by Lucent
Technologies pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act in each year during which the offering made hereby is in
effect prior to the filing with the SEC of Lucent Technologies' Annual
Report on Form 10-K covering such year shall not be Incorporated Documents
or be incorporated by reference herein or be a part hereof from and after
the filing of such Annual Report on Form 10-K.



<PAGE>


          Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document or deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in any other subsequently filed Incorporated Document modifies or
supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a
part hereof.

Item 4.  Description of Securities

         Not Applicable.


Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

         Not Applicable.


Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          The Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") of the
Company provides that a director of the Company will not be personally
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except, if required by the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") as amended from time to time, for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, which concerns unlawful payments of
dividends, stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Neither the
amendment nor repeal of such provision will eliminate or reduce the effect
of such provision in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of
action, suit or claim that, but for such provision, would accrue or arise
prior to such amendment or repeal.

          While the Certificate provides directors with protection from
awards for monetary damages for breach of their duty of care, it does not
eliminate such duty. Accordingly, the Certificate will have no effect on
the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission
based on a director's breach of his or her duty of care.


<PAGE>


          The Certificate provides that each person who was or is made a
party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such
person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or
was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis
of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director,
officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent, will be indemnified and held harmless
by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide
broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to
provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith.
Such right to indemnification includes the right to have the Company pay
the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its
final disposition, subject to the provisions of the DGCL. Such rights are
not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter
acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate, By-laws,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No
repeal or modification of such provision will in any way diminish or
adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company thereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior
to any such repeal or modification.

          The Certificate also specifically authorizes the Company to
maintain insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights to employees
or agents of the Company. The directors and officers of Lucent Technologies
are covered by insurance policies indemnifying against certain liabilities,
including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"1933 Act"), which might be incurred by them in such capacities.

                  (Incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3(i) of the Current
                  Report on Form 8-K dated July 18, 1996, File No.
                  001-11639)

     5            Opinion of Pamela F. Craven, Vice
                  President - Law of the registrant, as to
                  the legality of the securities to be
                  issued.

     23.1         Consent of Pamela F. Craven is contained in the opinion
                  of counsel filed as Exhibit 5.

     23.2         Consent of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.

     24           Powers of Attorney executed by officers
                  and directors who signed this
                  registration statement.


Item 9.  Undertakings

         (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:

         (a) to include any prospectus required by
     Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act;

         (b) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
     aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
     in this registration statement; and


<PAGE>


         (c) to include any material information with respect to the plan
     of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
     statement or any material change to such information in this
     registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

          (2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.

          (3) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

          (4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by

<PAGE>



controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe

Dear Sirs:

With reference to the registration statement on Form S-8 which Lucent
Technologies Inc. (the "Company") proposes to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, registering 2,474,116 common shares, par value $.01 per share,
(including an equal number of Preferred Share Purchase Rights that
initially trade with the common shares) of the Company (the "Shares") which
may be offered and sold by the Company under the Octel Communications
Corporation 1995 Incentive Stock Plan, the Octel Communications Corporation
1996 Supplemental Stock Option Plan, the VMX, Inc. 1989 Stock Option Plan,
VMX, Inc. 1986 Stock Option Plan, VMX, Inc. 1983 Stock Option Plan and the
Opcom 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Plans"), I am of
the opinion that:

         1.  the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and

         2. all proper corporate proceedings have been taken so that any
Shares to be offered and sold which are of original issuance, upon sale and
payment therefor in accordance with the Plans and the resolutions of the
Board of Directors relating to the offering and sale of common shares
thereunder, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC in connection
with the registration statement referred to above.


                           Very truly yours,

                            /s/ Pamela F. Craven








                                                               Exhibit 23.2









                     CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


We consent to the incorporation by reference in this registration statement
of Lucent Technologies Inc. on Form S-8, relating to the following plans:
