A.S.S, >Why should anyone listen to someone like you who can not even spell simple words right Thanks for the spell check, ANSHU (Is your name spelled correct?<VBG>). You have found your true talent, for investing is not your forte'.<G> You make 2 posts since you have been on SI (1996) and your last one insults a person's spelling?!?! Get a life. I usually take time to do a quick proof read, but when it is late at night, I have other things of priority. Maybe someday I'll install a spell check, but until then, you'll have to do. <G> If I ever need an administrative assistant I'll know who to call. ;-) >3COM is a great company presently not having a great time. We shall see what this means in the years ahead. Did I say 3COM was a bad company? I said that 3COM is going though a re-valuation phase. I take it you are long. :-(

BYTE Magazine saluted 3Com with a Best of COMDEX Award for the company's Cable Modem VSP and VSP Plus. Computer Shopper honored 3Com's U.S. Robotics(R) 56K(1) line of modems as a Best Buy of 1997 for the modems category and the U.S. Robotics 56K Faxmodem as the Best New Product of 1997. In addition, Computer Shoppers' Net Buyer saluted the U.S. Robotics 33.6 Faxmodem with a NetBuyer's Best award for modems. "We are honored to have been recognized by BYTE Magazine, Computer Shopper and several other publications at this year's Fall COMDEX. These latest awards, added to those wins from this year's Networld+Interop shows, have made 1997 a tremendous year for 3Com," said Neil Clemmons, vice president of marketing for the Personal Connectivity Division of 3Com. "3Com has always had a heritage of being first to market with award-winning products. We're excited to see the fruits of our labors with both analog and cable modem products." BYTE Honors 3Com(R) Cable Modem with Best of COMDEX Award For its Best Networking Infrastructure category, BYTE honored 3Com's Cable Modem VSP and VSP Plus with a Best of COMDEX Award, competing with Bay Networks' Instant Internet and AT&T's WorldNet products. Introduced November 14, 3Com's Cable Modem VSP and VSP Plus deliver data at speeds of up to 100 times faster than analog modems and have been specifically designed to support the cable industry's standards-based specifications. 3Com's cable modems allow data to be sent downstream from the cable operator to a home or business at up to 38 Mbps and upstream from the consumer at up to 56K. The Cable Modem VSP, a cable-only modem, and the Cable Modem VSP Plus, which includes an x2(TM) analog modem, are part of 3Com's complete data-over-cable solution, enabling high-speed data communication over traditional cable systems and hybrid fiber/coaxial networks. Computer Shopper Salutes 3Com with Best Buy and Best New Product Awards For the second consecutive year, Computer Shopper saluted 3Com (which merged with U.S. Robotics Corporation on June 12, 1997) with awards for modems. Recognizing 3Com's 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy and the product's popularity among its readers, Computer Shopper chose the U.S. Robotics 56K line of modems as the Best Buy for 1997 for modems. 3Com's U.S. Robotics 56K Faxmodem also was honored by Computer Shopper with a Direct Channel Achievement Award as Best New Product.

The U.S. Robotics 56K Voice Faxmodem comes complete with RapidComm(TM) voice software, which enables users to turn their PC into a complete communications system. In addition, 3Com's U.S. Robotics 33.6 Faxmodem Internal was honored with a Computer Shopper Net Buyer Best Modem of 1997 award. The U.S. Robotics 33.6 Faxmodem is both easy to set up and operate, and is one of the most reliable faxmodems available today. To help achieve higher speeds, the U.S. Robotics 33.6 Faxmodem is flash upgradeable to the new 56 Kbps(1) x2 technology from 3Com. 3Com swept the Net Buyer's Best awards for modems with the U.S. Robotics 56K Internal and 33.6 External modems taking second- and third-place honors, respectively.

Actual speeds may vary depending on line conditions. Uploads from end users to service providers travel at speeds up to 28.8 Kbps. An x2 modem, an analog phone line compatible with x2 technology and an Internet provider with x2 service are required for these high speed downloads. See www.3com.com/x2 for details.

Analog Devices To Provide DSP For 3Com 56k Modems - Integrated DSP & mixed-signal solution enables modem system-on-a-chip - PR Newswire, Wednesday, December 03, 1997 at 12:57 NORWOOD, Mass., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced that 3Com will use a new ADI chip which integrates all the analog and digital signal processing components of a 56K modem. This single-chip solution is a custom design for 3Com (NASDAQ:COMS), the world's leading modem maker. Today's U.S. Robotics(R) modems require five discrete integrated circuits (ICs). ADI will integrate these chips onto a single silicon die -- in essence, a 56K modem-on-a-chip. ADI's expertise in mixed-signal and DSP integration will enable 3Com to produce a modem that consumes less power than currently available designs. The IC will include 3Com's x2(TM) 56K* technology, which provides high speed downloads from over 1200 Internet Service Providers offering x2 service worldwide. With this development, 3Com includes ADI as one of its suppliers for designing and manufacturing digital signal processors (DSPs) customized for high-speed modem applications. "Analog Devices provides 3Com with a valuable supplier for integrated DSPs," said Jerry Devlin, vice president and general manager of 3Com's Personal Communications Division. "By integrating all analog and digital signal processing components onto one chip, we go to market faster, with modems that feature lower power consumption. Additionally, this new DSP will make it easier for our products to comply with FCC regulations." ********* Actually, now there are more than 3000 ISP for X2 56K modems.
