Gary, Coms has never really competed on a major level in the router market, so their position as 4th, 10th or 100th is of no import. The BOD has continually emphasized that in the past they have left the router market to Cisco. This should have little or no effect on 3Com's earnings, which I predict to be stellar. Why don't we ask ourselves what % of 3Com's revenues are generated from ROUTERS, this will answer and enlighten the members of this thread as to the ramifications of this statistic from the Cahner's In-Stat Group.
