Hi Jim, Guess Ericy is up today on the same news ((( biz.yahoo.com ))) The following questions come to mind, without a great deal of thought) 1. Is Ericsson really interested in COMS Network Interface Cards (NICS) and US Robotics modems ? 2. Are they interested in the Palm Pilot and it's operating system ? 3. Or perhaps Coms Remote Access equipment as well ? 4. What other IP, or Voice Over IP equipment would COMS bring to the table ?? Regards, Mardy.

OT** GSM trivia This is a snipet from an article on Iridium failures in the Balken crisis... Like other satellite phones, Iridium doesn't work inside buildings because of the relatively weak signals to and from an orbiting satellite. Motorola didn't think this would be a big problem when it first planned Iridium a dozen years ago, because there were relatively few cellular-telephone users then. To handle calls from cities, Iridium built a parallel circuitry inside the phone that uses the increasingly common GSM mobile-phone standard. But that isn't working in Albania. Albanian authorities switched off GSM roaming agreements when their system was swamped by a sudden inrush of foreigners toting ordinary mobile phones. Jim
