Perhaps the following from Stockrumors.com provided some of today's action. AUGUST 12, 1998 Rumors persist and do not seem to want to die dealing with an acquisition of 3COM CORP (COMS) ÿcurrently $28 7/8ÿ . We have reported previously on June 17, 1998 that for quite some time 3 COM Corp has been mentioned as a takeover target the story at that time was ERICSSON L M TEL CO (ERICY) as the possible suitor. A couple of weeks later we reported a similar rumor ÿon July ÿ5th in the BUZZ and BITS section of the site that ÿmany traders were reportedly whispering rumors that 3Com Corp. (COMS), could possibly be in talks with communications giant Siemens. A couple of days ago Barrons reported that ÿDavid Bernstein, managing director of investment bank Westhill Group said, Adaptec Inc., which makes adapter cards used to link personal computers to printers and other devices, could be bought by Intel Corp. or 3Com Corp. Today we are reporting another rumor circulating dealing with 3COM AND INTEL. INTEL CORPÿ(INTC) ÿis rumored to be buying 3COM CORP (COMS) $28 7/8 ÿ -(Volume Today: 7,990,000)(30-Day Avg.
