3Com Phones Home StreetQ has heard substantial numbers of rumors circulating that 3Com (COMS) and FORE Systems (FORE) are considering a merger. FORE designs, develops, manufactures and sells high performance networking products based on ATM technology. Fore Systems currently has the fastest switch available in the market. So, a merger will give COMS a technological leada over telecom vendors Lucent Technologies and Cisco Systems. It will also give COMS a larger share of the ATM switch market. On Monday, FORE closed at 17 1/16 up 11/16 (+4.20%) after it won Network Computing's Editor's Choice Award for best ATM solution. 3COM closed at 46 up 5/8 (+1.38%). StreetQ has heard that FORE could be valued as high as $30 per share in the event of a merger.

Moonray does a great job! Give him a break. :) Occassionally he needs to sleep in a few hours after a "late night or two". <g> I do admit, 3Com is a blizzard of good news/products with the PR releases, most a result from the Telecom Conference in Wash.D.C. today where AT&T will some announcements. Remember, even if 3Com knows it has these contracts, it can't announce them until the the major customer wants to do so for it's own PR benefit. So 3Com has to wait for MSFT, AT&T, Motorola(I think), and a few others.

[OT] I've been found out - or at least you've got the right idea. Woke up at 4 AM, decided to watch the two-video "Titanic". Gawd it is long. Back for a snooze. OK, I'll get crack'n. Out for a morning walk, Moonray? o~~~ O
