After reviewing its future here, IBM speaks for itself
" IBM next week will show how aggressive it can be in
the Ethernet, ATM, and voice markets with a series of
networking products designed to shed its systems
network architecture (SNA) bias.
The company plans to introduce Ethernet switches,
enhancements to its ATM backbone switch, voice and
data integration support in its router line, and a device
to establish a single point for network access.
Most of the products are being developed internally by IBM, a
dramatic switch from its days of original equipment
manufacturing or reselling technology. "

Just when we posters get it all figured out, and predict it to the world, IBM does this . Some nerve , need to Windex the crystal ball .
Wonder if its the official end to Novell-IBM's blue (light) box specials .
FWIW, on a PC company acquisition , LVG (3/98) said no hardware company would be bought by IBM . Parsing anyone ?
