Just looked at JBL again and realised that it is up almost 8 bucks today only (did not look before my initial post). Wow, earnings must be really good I guess......

>>Is not Jabil Circuit (JBL) also doing contract manufacturing work for COMS ?<<

3Com uses both Jabil and Solectron.

New 7 slot CB9000 chassis gives COMS a great product for enterprise wiring closets, which have millions of ports moving from shared 10Mbps and switched 10Mbps to switched 10/100. Up until now COMS has been limited to either stackable products (which carry lower price points and are not desirable to some large enterprises biased towards chassis) and the CoreBuilder 5000 which offers 10Mbps cards and 100Mbps cards but not 10/100. CB9000 now offers best price performance for a chassis with great port densities and scalability.

Product will be well received by the enterpise market

Joe,

I think that I have heard on CNN this morning at approx. 7:50am something to the effect that 3com has warned that sales in the last qtr or current quarter this year will be at least 10% below last year. Since I was doing something else at the time, did not capture all the information. I could not verify this info, can someone find out more?

regards
