Rockwell, 3Com Settle 56K Modem Dispute
(02/18/98; 2:28 p.m. EST)

Rockwell Semiconductor Systems and 3Com have settled their dispute regarding 56-Kbps modem interoperability testing.

Tuesday's announcement that testing had been successfully completed came less than two weeks after officials at both companies disclosed a dispute. Neither side would elaborate on when the testing began, except to say that it "went very, very, quickly," according to John McCartney, president of 3Com's client access business unit.

Terms of the interoperability testing agreement were not made public.

According to earlier comments by Rockwell executives, the testing program was delayed by disagreement over whether product shipments would be deferred until interoperability was established.

At the time, 3Com would not comment on the status of any testing with Rockwell, but one official indicated that any provisions requiring a potential delay in product shipment would not be acceptable.

Both companies confirmed their respective commitments to ship products in the coming weeks. The products are expected to interoperate with one another, fully support the emerging V.90 56-Kbps standard, and be backward-compatible with 3Com's legacy x2 or Rockwell's K56flex products.
