<< If we wanted to sell out, we would have pursued a cash deal, and we probably would have ended up with a different company,>>

This sentence needs some analysis and raises a lot of questions in my mind. Could you and other interested members shed some light?
There aren't too many 'different' companies out there who can afford the price tag in cash. Let's say Cisco is one of the 'different' company. Did Cowell think a cash deal with Cisco is not as attractive as a stock deal with 3Com? How about a Cisco stock swap with collar (one of Cisco previous acquisition gave the acquired $50 or one CSCO whichever is higher)? Still unattractive?
I've read lots of analysts' comments, analyses. Whether the merger is good/bad for the 2 companies is too early to call. But as a USRX stockholder, I am now somewhat disappointed at the pricing and timing. These days, USRX has to lift not only itself but also COMS. I don't expect COMS to contribute much to USRX appreciation in the near future: 3Com coming quarterly report has already been pre-announced as non-rosy; how many quarters it takes for the glass to be clear is not known.
