3Com touts networking benefits: 3Com (COMS) will add more tools to its roster next week to make it easy for users to realize the benefits of a networked office. The firm will roll out a new routing device for ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and a software tool that can measure the return on a small-business customer's investment once they install networking equipment. Companies from all corners of the high-tech world are targeting the small-business niche for growth as more companies learn the benefits of connecting their PCs together and to the Net. 3Com is offering a 15-minute set-up guarantee to attract users who may be wary of networking their offices. As part of the rollout, 3Com will debut a ten-user ISDN router called the OfficeConnect ISDN LAN Modem for just under $500 list price. In June, the company will add a similar model based on 56-kbps modem technology. The company also will offer a free CD-ROM called the Networking Benefits Calculator. A user can input answers to a few questions and the tool will spit out the expected savings to be gained from networking a business. 3Com claims businesses can become up to 40 percent more productive by networking their computing equipment. news.com
