BEFORE THE BELL - 3Com (NASDAQ:COMS) rises on article Reuters, Monday, December 01, 1997 at 09:25 NEW YORK, Dec 1 (Reuters) - 3Com Corp was up more than a point in pre-opening trade on Monday after a Barron's article extolled its future prospects, dealers said. 3Com traded at 37-3/4, after closing on Friday at 36-1/4. Barron's noted that 3Com's stock has declined to the 30s from the mid 50s over the past six weeks. But Barron's said that the company was poised to benefit from the advent of high-speed cable modems. "That was a fairly positive article," one trader noted. Also moving up before the bell was Dell Computer Corp (NASDAQ:DELL), trading at 85-1/4 after closing at 84-3/16. Dell also rose in Friday trading, on what traders described as increased optimism about earnings prospects for computer makers.

Networking Roundup - DualStar's Networked CyberBuildings 12/01/97 Newsbytes, Monday, December 01, 1997 at 15:16 SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1997 DEC 1 (NB) -- REPEAT/ By Newsbytes Staff. With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, high-speed networks are appearing in all sorts of places. Now DualStar Technologies Corp. [NASDAQ:DSTR], a New York City designer and builder of infrastructure systems, says it is using 3Com Corp. [NASDAQ:COMS] equipment to deliver high-speed advanced multimedia entertainment services to hundreds of residents. The company claims the three sites are the first "CyberBuildings" for residential subscribers, which provide residents with cable TV and enhanced telephone service, as well as multimedia applications based on building area networks (BANs). Advanced networked services the company is intending to implement include Internet services, such as the development of building Web sites with personalized home pages, chat rooms, and community bulletin boards. CyberBuildings can also reportedly support desktop videoconferencing, video-on-demand, and energy management. To date, DCI says it has implemented BANs in two new buildings in New York with a third BAN in another new building nearing completion. These sites include The Grand Millennium, a 300-unit condominium residence and hotel; One Columbus Place, two 51-story towers; and Citylights at Queens Landing, a 530-unit high-rise residence in Queens whose BAN will be fully installed this year. Each DCI BAN is based on 3Com Fast Ethernet backbone architecture, which Norcom Inc. helped DCI select and design in April. The heart of each BAN consists of 3Com SuperStack II Switch 3000 Fast Ethernet switches, which provide 100 megabit per second (Mbps) segments over a fiber optic backbone. The switches connect to 3Com SuperStack II Switch 1000 workgroup or edge systems. Reported By Newsbytes News Network: newsbytes.com (19971201/Press Contact: David Brisson, 508-653-4091)
