ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

     Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 12, 2000 (the
"Merger Agreement") among Adaptive, Western and WA Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger
Sub") and subject to the conditions set forth therein (including approval by the
stockholders of Western and Adaptive), Merger Sub will be merged with and into
Adaptive (the "Merger"), with each share of Adaptive Common Stock being
converted into the right to receive 1.345 shares of Class A Common Stock, par
value $0.10 per share, of Western ("Western Common Stock") (as adjusted for any
stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification,
recapitalization or other similar transaction) (the "Exchange Ratio").  The
description contained in this Item 3 of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Schedule 13D as
Exhibit 99.1.

     To facilitate the consummation of the Merger (as defined in Item 4 below),
the principal stockholder of Western has entered into a Voting Agreement with
Adaptive as described in Item 4, and Western has entered into the Option
Agreement (as defined in Item 4 below) with Adaptive.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     (a) - (b) As described in Item 3 above, this statement relates to the
merger of Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western, with and into
Adaptive in a statutory merger pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL").  At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), the
separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Adaptive will continue as the
surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Western ("Surviving
Corporation").  The officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation after
<PAGE>

CUSIP No. 95874P107               SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 4 of 14
          ---------

the Effective Time shall be as mutually determined by Western and Adaptive prior
to the Effective Time and shall serve as the officers and directors of the
Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are elected and
qualified or duly appointed, as the case may be. The Certificate of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of
the Effective Time to conform to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub
as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that at
the Effective Time the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation
shall be amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be Adaptive
Broadband Corporation. The Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended
and restated as of the Effective Time to conform to the Bylaws of Merger Sub as
in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

     Merger Consideration.  In connection with the Merger, holders of
outstanding Adaptive Common Stock will receive, in exchange for each share of
Adaptive Common Stock held by them, 1.345 shares of Western Common Stock (as
adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split,
reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction) (the "Exchange
Ratio").  A warrant to purchase Adaptive Common Stock, to the extent outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to
receive, upon the exercise thereof, the number of shares of Western Common Stock
that the holder thereof would have received had such holder exercised the
warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and the shares of Adaptive
Common Stock that would have been held by such holder upon such exercise were
converted into Western Common Stock.  Each option to purchase Adaptive Common
Stock (an "Adaptive Common Stock Option"), to the extent outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time, shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares
of Adaptive Common Stock and shall be converted, at the Effective Time, into an
option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the
Adaptive Common Stock Option, that number of shares of Western Common Stock
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Adaptive Common Stock subject
to such Adaptive Common Stock Option by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down, if
necessary, to the nearest whole share of Western Common Stock, at a price per
share (rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) equal to the per share
exercise price specified in such Adaptive Common Stock Option divided by the
Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that in the case of any Adaptive Common Stock
Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification
under Section 422 of the Code, the option price, the number of shares subject to
such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be
determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the
Code.  The terms, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such
Adaptive Common Stock Options shall otherwise remain unchanged.  In addition to
the foregoing, Adaptive shall take all actions necessary to provide that, with
respect to its Supplemental Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and its Phantom
Stock Plan thereunder, all common and phantom stock accounts shall be converted
into common and phantom stock accounts, as applicable, relating to shares of
Western Common Stock and all such stock accounts, when and to the extent payable
in stock, shall be paid in shares of Western Common Stock.  If the Merger is
consummated, Adaptive Common Stock will be deregistered under the Exchange Act
and delisted from the Nasdaq National Market.

     Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Closing Conditions.  The Merger
Agreement contains customary representations and warranties on the part of
Western and Adaptive, and the consummation of the Merger is subject to customary
closing conditions, including, without limitation, approval by the stockholders
of Western and Adaptive, regulatory approval and the occurrence of no material
adverse effect with respect to a party.  The Merger Agreement also contains
covenants regarding the activities of Western and Adaptive prior to the earlier
of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement.  Western and
Adaptive have agreed to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary
course and in a commercially reasonable manner.  In addition, a number of
corporate actions by Adaptive during the period pending the closing of the
Merger require Western's approval, including borrowings, capital expenditures
and stock option grants above specified minimums.

     Termination of the Merger Agreement.  The Merger Agreement may be
terminated prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after approval of the
Merger by the stockholders of Adaptive and the stockholders of Western: (i) by
mutual written consent of the Boards of Directors of Adaptive and Western; (ii)
subject to certain exceptions, by either Adaptive or Western if the Merger shall
not have been consummated by

          ---------

June 30, 2001; provided, however, that the right to terminate the Merger
Agreement shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any
obligation under the Merger Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the
failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before June 30, 2001; (iii) by
either Adaptive or Western in connection with certain legal or governmental
actions having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise
prohibiting the Merger; (iv) subject to certain limitations, by Adaptive or
Western if the approvals of the stockholders of either Western or Adaptive
contemplated by the Merger Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason of
the failure to obtain the required vote at a duly held meeting of stockholders
or of any adjournment thereof at which the vote was taken; (v) by Western, if
Adaptive shall have (a) failed to recommend the Merger to its stockholders or
(b) materially breached its obligations under the Merger Agreement by reason of:
(1) a failure to call a meeting of its stockholders to approve the Merger; (2) a
change in its recommendation to its stockholders; (3) approval or recommendation
of (or any proposal to publicly approve or recommend) any acquisition proposal;
(4) or a failure to prepare and mail to its stockholders the a Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus in accordance with Section 5.1(a) of the Merger Agreement;
(vi) by Adaptive, if Western shall have (a) failed to recommend the Merger to
its stockholders or (b) materially breached its obligations under the Merger
Agreement by reason of: (1) a failure to call a meeting of its stockholders to
approve the Merger; (2) a change in its recommendation to its stockholders; (3)
approval or recommendation of (or any proposal to publicly approve or recommend)
any acquisition proposal; (4) or a failure to prepare and mail to its
stockholders the a Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in accordance with Section
5.1(a) of the Merger Agreement; (vii) by Adaptive if Western's representations
and warranties in the Merger Agreement shall be or become materially inaccurate
or if any of Western's covenants in the Merger Agreement shall have been
breached and not cured within the period required by the Merger Agreement;
(viii) by Western if Adaptive's representations and warranties in the Merger
Agreement shall be or become materially inaccurate or if any of Adaptive's
covenants in the Merger Agreement shall have been breached and not cured within
the period required by the Merger Agreement; or. (ix) by either Adaptive or
Western, on the business day immediately preceding the date scheduled for the
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, if either of
the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the Average Western Closing Price
(as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be less than or equal to $10.00; or
(b) the product of (x) 0.7 and (y) the ratio obtained by dividing the Final
Index Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by the Initial Index Price (as
defined in the Merger Agreement), shall be greater than (z) the ratio obtained
by dividing the Average Western Closing Price by the Average Western Starting
Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided, however, that the right to
terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant hereto shall not be available to any
party that has incurred a Section 7.1 Event (as defined in the Merger
Agreement).

     The description contained in this Item 4 of the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Schedule 13D
as Exhibit 99.1.

     Voting Agreement. As an inducement to Adaptive to enter into the Merger
Agreement, WMC Holding LLC, the majority stockholder of Western ("WMC Holding"),
has entered into a Voting Agreement dated as of November 12, 2000 (the "Western
Voting Agreement") with Adaptive. The number of shares of Western Common Stock
beneficially owned by WMC Holding is set forth on Schedule II to the Schedule
13D. As of the date of the Western Voting Agreement, WMC Holding was the record
and beneficial holder of 39,796,351 of the outstanding shares of Western Common
Stock, representing approximately 71.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Western Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Western Voting Agreement, WMC
Holding has agreed that, prior to the earlier of: (i) the Effective Time, (ii) a
determination by the Board of Directors of Adaptive that an Acquisition Proposal
constitutes a Superior Proposal under Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement, or
(iii) termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 of thereof, it
will, at the request of Adaptive, vote its shares of Western Common Stock in
favor of: (x) approval of the issuance of Western Common Stock in connection
with the Merger; (y) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (z) each
of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. WMC Holding has also
granted to Adaptive an irrevocable proxy with respect to the matters covered by
the Western Voting Agreement. WMC has also agreed not to sell, transfer, pledge,
encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of or enforce or permit the execution of
the provisions of any redemption, share purchase or sale, recapitalization or
other agreement with Western or enter into any contract, option or other
arrangement or understanding with respect to the offer for sale, transfer,
pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any of its stock
<PAGE>

currently held, any shares acquired after November 12, 2000, any securities
exercisable for or convertible into Western Common Stock, any other capital
stock of Western or any interest in any of the foregoing with any party except
to a party that agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Western Voting
Agreement. Adaptive did not pay any consideration to WMC Holding in connection
with the execution and delivery of the Western Voting Agreement. The description
contained in this Item 4 of the transactions contemplated by the Western Voting
Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form
of Western Voting Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Schedule 13D as
Exhibit 99.3.

     Stock Option Agreement.  Also as an inducement to Adaptive to enter into
the Merger Agreement, Adaptive and Western entered into a Stock Option Agreement
dated November 12, 2000 (the "Option Agreement") pursuant to which Western
granted Adaptive the right (the "Option") under certain conditions to purchase
up to 11,057,319 shares of Western Common Stock (the "Option Shares") at a
purchase price of $12.75 per share (the "Exercise Price").  Adaptive may also
elect to net exercise the Option by surrendering a portion of the Option Shares
with respect to such number of Option Shares as is determined by dividing (i)
the aggregate Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of Option Shares
being purchased by (ii) the excess of the Fair Market Value per share of Western
Common Stock as of the last trading day preceding the date Adaptive delivers the
option exercise notice to Western (the "Option Exercise Date") over the per
share Exercise Price.  The Fair Market Value per share of Western Common Stock
shall be the average of the last reported sale prices per share of Western
Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days commencing on the 12/th/
trading day immediately preceding the Option Exercise Date.  The Option may be
exercised, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, commencing
upon the date on which Adaptive becomes unconditionally entitled to receive a
termination fee pursuant to Section 7.2(c) of the Merger Agreement.  The Option
shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the date on which the Merger
becomes effective; (b) written notice of termination of the Option Agreement by
Adaptive to Western; (c) 12 months after the date on which the Option first
becomes exercisable; or (d) the date of the termination of the Merger Agreement;
provided, however, with respect to clause (d), if Adaptive becomes
unconditionally entitled to receive a termination fee pursuant to Section 7.2(c)
of the Merger Agreement upon or following the termination of the Merger
Agreement and the occurrence of certain events, then the Option will not
terminate until the later of (x) 15 business days following the time the
termination fee becomes unconditionally payable and (y) the expiration of the
period referred to in Section 7.2(c)(A)(III) of the Merger Agreement.

     The Option Agreement limits the total profit that may be received by
Adaptive pursuant to the exercise of the Option and sale of the underlying
shares of Western Common Stock.  If Adaptive exercises the option, sells any
underlying shares and receives proceeds which, together with any termination
fees received by Adaptive from Western, exceeds $27,500,000, then Adaptive, at
is sole election, shall reduce the number of shares of Western Common Stock
subject to the Option, deliver to Western for cancellation shares previously
purchased by Adaptive, reduce the amount of the Option Repurchase Price (as
defined in the Option Agreement), pay cash to Western or any combination
thereof, so that Adaptive's actual realized total profit does not exceed
$27,500,000.


     The Option Agreement requires Western to repurchase the Option and any
shares of Western Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Option at
Adaptive's request under certain circumstances. Other circumstances require
Adaptive to sell to Western shares of Western Common Stock it has acquired upon
the exercise of the option.  Adaptive must offer to sell shares of Western
Common Stock acquired by it upon the exercise of the option to Western before
selling these shares to a third party.  Western is obligated to register under
the Securities Act the offer, sale and delivery by Adaptive of shares of Western
Common Stock acquired by Adaptive upon the exercise of the Option.

     (c)  Not applicable.

     (d)  If the Merger is consummated, Adaptive will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Western and Western will subsequently determine the size and
membership of the Board of Directors of Adaptive and the officers of Adaptive.

     (e)  None, other than a change in the number of outstanding shares of
Western Common Stock as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

     (f)  Upon consummation of the Merger, Adaptive will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Western.

     (g)  Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub will be amended and restated in a form
satisfactory to Western. Upon consummation of Merger, the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub will become the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of Adaptive.

     (h)  Upon consummation of the Merger, the Adaptive Common Stock will cease
to be quoted on any quotation system or exchange.

     (i)  Upon consummation of the Merger, the Adaptive Common Stock will become
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Exchange Act.

     (j)  Other than as described above, Western currently has no plan or
proposal which relates to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items
4(a)-(i) of Schedule 13D (although Western reserves the right to develop such
plans).

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a) - (b) As a result of the Western Voting Agreement, Adaptive has shared
power to vote 39,796,351 shares of Western Common Stock for the limited purposes
described in Item 4 above. As a result of the Adaptive Option Agreement granted
to Adaptive, Adaptive may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an additional
11,057,319 shares of Western Common Stock. In the aggregate, such shares
(representing a total of 50,853,670 shares of Western Common Stock) would
represent approximately 91.5% of the shares of Western Common Stock outstanding
as of November 12, 2000 after giving effect to the exercise of the Option.

     To Adaptive's knowledge, no shares of Western Common Stock are beneficially
owned by any of the persons named in Schedule I, except for such beneficial
ownership, if any, arising solely from the Western Voting Agreement and the
Option Agreement.

     Set forth in Schedule III to this Schedule 13D is the name and present
principal occupation or employment of each person with whom Western shares the
power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of
Western Common Stock.

     During the past five years, to Adaptive's knowledge, no person named in
Schedule III to this Schedule 13D has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

     During the past five years, to Adaptive's knowledge, no person named in
Schedule III to this Schedule 13D was a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which
such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
