>>Very interesting. The article (which has been posted either here, Bay, or Ascend thread) listed 3COM as the no. 1 acquisition target.<< This is extremely important. COMS is an expert in the Voice over IP (VOIP). Primary skill needed for Data Networking companies. At this price, and moreso the lower it gets, COMS is a very attractive acquisition piece. I don't following Ascend, asiduously, but when Ascend was in the mid 20's, wasn't it offered about $40 as a takeover price? Yet, it refused because the price was too low? With BAY NETWORKS, there are rumors (or possibly true), that it's being seriously considered for acquisition. And yet, isn't it true that it expects about $80/share? If this is true, this should tell us something about the value of COMS. >>Official article from Toronto-Dominion's New York office re: carriers looking to acquire Data companies....not necessarily the Data Network powerhouses only.<< Mark, if possible, could you post the link to that article? Thanks!
