BO, don't know if anyone has responded about 3COM. Here is part of what could be happening... Intel is kicking their a--! Intel now has equal the market share in networking chips as 3COM. 3COM has had tremendous quality problems with their new 10/100MBit Ethernet offerings. Plus, they've been slow to deliver new product. Intel is a few steps ahead now offering NIC chips whith the physical layer integrated onto one piece of silicon. Translation: 3COM solution requires 2 chips at a higher cost than Intel's 1 chip solution and Intel's performs better. Anyway, I believe it's a 3COM execution issue rather than a harbinger of doom for PC sales. MEATHEAD
