<<mrclinton does not understand the mix of products that coms possesses.>>

In that case please enlighten me, I thought it was something along these lines..

Palmpilot (got one, think its brilliant)

NICs (using one right now to help me post this message)

Hubs (same as above bloody marvelous and CHEAP)

Routers (OK but now where near as popular as Cisco plus the noise from Bay etc)

LAN switches (Now this is a busy market place, Cisco,Bay,Ipsilon,Fore,Xylan,Cabletron need I continue?)

Remote Access Concentrators (Beaten into Third place by ASND and Cisco first and Second place respectively)

$100 modems (now not that many people make these)

Pretty much focused on very competitive consumer/enterprise market where primary concern of the CORPORATE buyer is cost, ie. increasing price pressure and decreasing margins.

Please help me to overcome my ignorance and add any other product lines I inadvertently left out here.
