Just got into SI. I couldn't log into SI for two whole days ! both at work and at home so it's not something to do with my pc or the network. When reading some posts, nobody seems to have any problems. Weird ! Mang

blankmind, I think 3Com would have still bought USRX knowing the inventory problems, they just would not have paid as much. Matt

,< the main reason for coms to be in such doldrums was the main asset of usrx, analog modems, which had over stuffed channels boosting sales, which coms has had to remove at a heavy cost. > They were'nt the only tech company caught with inventory problems.But,the bigger question remains did Eric buy the necessary intellectual property, that will be accreative going forward, when he bought the "bot". Or, did Casey pull the "wool over the eyes" in this deal????
