<< 5. A way overpriced stock swap. 3Com did get reamed by the USR
Managment, USR stuffed the channels, put all of their inventory
on the shelves, 3Com has made some tough choices to prevent a
modem fire sale, such as slowing down production, until the inventory was sold down to acceptable levels.
The real villain in the merger was USR.>>

Agreed - COMS has two potential jewels with Palm and the Total Control Carrier business (the latter if VOIP takes off). The analog modem business needs to turned in to high growth cable and dsl modem businesses.
