ANother potential suitor for data com company is Alcatel. The company got a few billions in June when they introduced Alstom in London/Paris/ New York (with GEC from Britain).
Tchuruk (Chairman) specifically mentioned during the annual meeting held in June that the money will not be used for stock repurchase but 'among other things aquisition' (quote from memory)
I do not personally believe that Ericsson, Siemens, Lucent or Alcatel would be interested in 3Com, too expensive for the synergies. But, who future will tell us.
