Networking rumors from Spencer F. Katt & PC Week . . . . Silicon Valley tipsters are wondering if Cisco is really going to have Gigabit Ethernet products anytime soon. Long lambasted for being behind the big-bandwidth curve, Cisco is using a media access controller from Intel that doesn't support Gigabit speeds, according to one Furball fan who's using the very same MAC in testing equipment. Without a new rev of the MAC, ports will "drag along" at about 400M bps max, the tattler said. Cisco rival 3Com, meanwhile, is getting ready to announce a partnership with a major telecommunications provider. With 3Com adding wireless capabilities to its Total Control access concentrator, some tipsters think Nokia could be the chosen one, but others say Nortel and Lucent also are in the running. Nortel and Lucent could also be vying for a bigger prize: Bay Networks. That was one of the acquisition rumors running rampant among networking pundits last week. Another: Alcatel buying Xylan. And does Cabletron have the legs to make yet another purchase? Tipsters, intrigued by the company's reported snapping up of NetVantage last week, say IP telephony is the next target. . . . zdnet.com PC Week front page:http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/ Dave
