Ericsson to Be 'Opportunistic,' But Price-Wary in Data Buys

In that vein, Mr. Pinkham said he hasn't talked about a
possible combination with 3Com Corp. Rumors have been
swirling around Wall Street that Ericsson may be poised
to snatch up the maker of modems, network adapter
cards and data-networking devices.

Mr. Pinkham said he views 3Com's CoreBuilder gigabit
switching technology as potentially interesting to Ericsson,
as well as the company's U.S. Robotics component and
its PalmPilot.

But 3Com's exposure to network adapter cards, where
technology is expected over time to be swept into a
computer's central chips, is less attractive, he said.
