Randy, trying to understand why Rockwell spun off CNXT and several other divisions. Could not tell from press releases at CNXT site. Was it: - worth more as separate companies? - change in strategic direction - parts not working well together - getting rid of under-performers - sell assets to raise cash - etc. Also, wondering how their modem business is doing now. I recall the "Rockwell chipset" went up against 3Com's on 56K modems, and many thought they did not do so well. I'd appreciate any perspectives.
