Hey - SOME PR ! OK, so it's not from Seeq, but they do get a mention ! From PCQuote - Essential Communications Leads Industry With Gigabit Ethernet Product for SGI Systems Business Wire - November 20, 1997 15:50 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 1997-- PCI-based NIC (Network Interface Card) Interoperates With All Major Gigabit Ethernet Switch Vendors Essential Communications, a leading provider of Gigabit networking solutions, today announced the release of JackRabbit(tm) version 1.0, a Gigabit Ethernet NIC for SGI's Octane and Origin systems, becoming one of the first companies to bring a Gigabit Ethernet product to market. "Gigabit Ethernet products have been announced by a number of companies, but Essential's JackRabbit is one of the first to hit the market," said John Gibbon, vice president of engineering for Essential Communications. "Essential has been pioneering Gigabit networking since 1992. Our strategic focus in this area and our expertise in the development of NICs, switches and routers over the past 5 years, has enabled us to deliver this product in a timely fashion." The JackRabbit Gigabit Ethernet NIC includes Essential's proprietary ASIC design known as Roadrunner. Essential's Roadrunner ASIC is being licensed to a growing number of other Gigabit Ethernet NIC developers, a testimony to Essential's leadership role in Gigabit networking. Last month, Essential Communications announced a collaborative effort with SEEQ Technology, a leading manufacturer of Fast Ethernet components, to develop a new PCI-based Gigabit Ethernet controller offering 32- and 64-bit PCI bus interface NICs and MACs (Media Access Controllers) for cost-effective, high bandwidth, and high-speed networking. "With many of the larger players announcing delays of their Gigabit Ethernet products, we anticipate a significant demand for our new JackRabbit Network Interface Card," said Michael McGowen, president and CEO of Essential Communications. "Our JackRabbit NIC also addresses the major concern of early Gigabit Ethernet adopters by supporting interoperability with all major Gigabit Ethernet switch vendors." Essential's JackRabbit is a PCI-based Gigabit Ethernet NIC that is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3z.D3.1 specification. JackRabbit NICs for SGI Octane and Origin products are available immediately. Essential's Gigabit Ethernet drivers will be available for Windows NT, Sun Solaris and IBM AIX systems by year's end. Essential Communications, founded in 1992, is a leading provider of affordable, end-to-end Gigabit networking solutions used in workgroups, backbones, cluster computing, storage management, and visual computing. Essential's Gigabit networking products include Network Interface Cards (NICs), switches and routers. Essential Communications is a member of the Gigabit Ethernet Alliance. For more information about the company and its products, contact Essential at 800/278-7897, or visit their web site at www.esscom.com

I had a very informative phone call from Phil Barton late this afternoon. I will try to summarize its essentials for a post tomorrow. Stockaholic's post is confirmed by my conversation with one exception. Phil said that SEEQ has made a conscious effort to do presentations to analysts, etc. and has hired a PR firm. He appeared to be interested and open to the idea of PR being educative. So SEEQ has addressed the issue of getting the message and story out there in the last few months and will do so in the future. The TX trans device is the major reason for being upbeat in 98. IMHO SEEQ should be a $4 stock. Undervalued at this point IMO. More later, thanks for such a great board... Ed
