Once again we are seeing big volume. People will use any excuse to run from this stock.

This stock is amazingly consistent. Down when the market is down, Down when the market is up.

Has been on a steady downward trajectory since earnings.
Institutions must have used that run up and upgrades as a last best chance to get out before the stock heads for 20.

David, good article - re:infoworld's article

It confirms my estimation that NIC is 20% of coms business and Modem is 20% of coms business.

"Benhamou: If you were to take the NIC business itself, it's probably
about 15 percent to 20 percent of [3Com's business]. I would say that
in the entire market for NICs, about 10 percent is in the form of chips
that go on motherboards."

If you believe in Eric's BS here, it may even be as little as 15% for nic and modem respectively.

That is due to for client-access, we have the following products :

modem (around $250 million per qtr)
nic (around $250 million per qtr)
server nic
PC card modem/nic
palm pilot (my estimates is around $75 million per qtr)
isdn modem
adsl modem
cable modem
video conferencing
point of sale (this one I'm not sure is enterprise or client-access)
home networking kit
