(NASDAQ:COMS) today announced that Interim Services, one of the world's leading staffing companies, is standardizing its new enterprise network on 3Com's Transcend Networking architecture. The $1.5 million network consists of an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode)/Ethernet local area network (LAN) at the company's two-building headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. It also will include shared Ethernet LANs in 650 nationwide offices, a wide area network (WAN) comprised of frame relay technology and virtual private networks (VPNs) using Internet connections.

The initiative is designed to support the Interim Commercial Division, which offers staffing and consulting services in areas such as information technology, legal, accounting and human resources, and the HealthCare Division, which places physicians, nurses, therapists and other practitioners at medical institutions and customers' homes. The firm's key applications include Internet, intranet, email and office services as well as access to the firm's customized staffing database -- the headquarters-based search engine used by all branch offices to match appropriate personnel with specific customer needs.

It may even be terrific news for anyone interested in the long term outlook!!!!! We indeed all should hope that Coms current momentum with the Palm will create a once in a lifetime opportunity for the much needed adoption of a new operating system, first confined to the handheld devices market and why not, progressively adopted as an alternative to Windows....with dual major consequences: - boost Coms shares and marketshare in various technological areas. - finally give us a real alternative to the mediocre Microsoft operating system! one can and should dream....
