While you watch the foreign shores, I'll cover the home front. For a start, a few bits and pieces on Mr. Alan Lutz: compaq.com The Networking Products Division: <<< Compaq continues to build its networking products business and is now beginning to build additional businesses in remote access, modems, and other communications access products. Accordingly, Compaq developed a new group to consolidate all of the company's communications businesses, including the networking products business. As computing and communications continue to converge, Compaq is stepping up its commitment to provide end-to-end networking solutions to its customers. The company has announced new hubs, routers, switches, NICs and modems that provide customers with a total network solution. The Communications Products Group will be a major asset in helping Compaq provide customers with access to people, information, and new ways of working together, whether across their enterprise or across the globe. In April 1997, Compaq solidified its entry into the growing remote-access marketplace, with the company's acquisition of Microcom, a Massachusetts based manufacture of modems and other equipment that allow computer users to connect into networks from different locations. This move has helped expand Compaq's communications product business.>>>> Products from that division: compaq.com Press when he was promoted at CPQ: compaq.com <<< Over the last year, Compaq has been rapidly building its networking products business and is now beginning to build additional businesses in remote access, modems, and other communications access products.
