Compaq makes US$280M purchase
Reuter

Compaq Computer Corp. said yesterday it has agreed to acquire
Microcom Inc., which makes remote-access technologies and computer
modems, for US$280 million. Under the deal, Compaq will pay
US$16.25 for each Microcom share. Microcom stock (MNPI/NASDAQ)
closed up US$5 7/16 to US$15 15/16. Compaq shares (CPQ/NYSE)
dropped US$2 7/8 to US$75 1/4. "Development of the strategically

important and rapidly growing remote-access market is a top
priority in Compaq's move to expand its communication products
business," said Alan Lutz, senior vice-president of Compaq's
communication products group.
Remote-access technologies allow
users to work on a computer network from another location. Compaq,
the world's largest maker of personal computers, estimated demand
for remote-access server computers will grow from US$3 billion in
1996 to US$8.3 billion in 2000.
