How Investors Can Play the Year of Broadband
BuisnessWeek Online - January 25, 1999

Lucent and Cisco? Sure. But don't overlook 3Com either

The new year was supposed to be the year of Y2K. Or was it the year of
the Asian bounceback? Or the year of Microsoft's comeuppance? Instead,
events so far in 1999 have heralded the year of broadband -- the
technology that will revolutionize the Internet by providing much
speedier connections.

A far cheaper stock, and one that's just as much in the broadband race
as Lucent and Cisco, is 3Com. While the other two companies are busy
making switching equipment for the phone companies, 3Com's biggest
source of revenue, about 50%, comes from selling modems. 3Com also
sells switching and network equipment, but since its 1997 acquisition
of U.S. Robotics, its primary business is modems.

<I can see why some of the posters here get paranoid about the company>

Not me. Bought some short-term trading shares this morning at $45 1/8.
