blank,

>> we need someone who is a bull on coms, and you are usda grade A. was usrx worth 8 billion?<<

I wonder what Eric B. would say, if he had to do it all over
again? I know he didn't want to compete with CSCO, so he
had to focus on different spaces. COMS was missing some of
the elements...that's why he bought USRX. But in hindsight,
he could've/should've bought for cheaper, or maybe picked up the extra technology in other places for cheaper. Who knows for sure?

See my previous post also.


Just to show you how "pointy" my horns are:

IMO, a year from now, the USRX problems will be a minor
glitch in COMS's plans.

Some things will work out better than others.
Maybe modems never sell (I doubt it), but maybe Palm Pilots
pick up the slack.
