Digital near unit sale to Cabletron - WSJ NEW YORK, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Digital Equipment Corp is close to an agreement to sell its computer-network equipment business to Cabletron Systems Inc , the Wall Street Journal said on Thursday, citing people familiar with the negotiations. While no agreement has been signed, the two sides are both comfortable with terms valuing the unit at $400 million and $500 million, the paper said in its electronic edition. An announcement on the sale could come within days, the paper said. A deal with Cabletron would help the computer maker further tighten its focus by freeing it of a cash-hungry business and giving it more flexibility to sell networking gear made by a variety of outside equipment makers, the paper said.
