How does 3COM's management plan to respond to CSCO's modem deal with Intel?.... (http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19990728S0004) Intel, Cisco Team Up On ADSL (07/28/99, 9:49 a.m. ET) By Christine Zimmerman, Data Communications Intel has announced it will license the technology Cisco Systems uses in its central office DSL switches to develop ADSL modems for use in remote offices and homes. Intel said the ADSL modems will help users access the Internet up to 25 times faster than the speediest analog modems. The modems will be compatible with all Cisco central office DSL gear, and they should ship by the end of the year, Intel said. The vendors said they hope the deal will let Intel participate in the high-speed Internet access market while helping Cisco protect its DSL market position and branch into consumer gear. "The agreement with Intel furthers Cisco's consumer strategy to extend high-speed access to the home," said David Gudmundson, vice president and general manager of the DSL and systems software business unit at Cisco. ==================================================================== On a side note it was rumored today that Ericson was looking at Newbridge Networks but both companies denied any merger discussions.
