DEAL Makes Sense! EB has stated the competition selling to the carriers was going to get "bloody" and COMS can't compete with LU,CSCO & NT. Seimens needs more than just a partnership. COMS will focus on xDSL, cable modems, LAN/WAN VoIP, smart NIC's, Palm growth, SOHO networking and enterprise deals using direct sales & channel. COMS is going to avoid erosion of high margins and will improve the balance sheet. (RA - remote access TotalControl growth has been slowing)I think they have excellent chance to evolve to where they are "hitting on all cylinders" but it will take 6-12 mos. I wouldn't expect a PE greater than 25, though. When their EPS run rate is $2.00 we may see a price of $50 again.
