Can't really see Cisco being interested in 3COM too much overlap.
Considering COMS 52 wk high of ~$50, I would expect an off of this magnitude would be needed for them to conserder buy-out / merger bringing their market cap to nearly $20B. Do you think ERICY (market cap ~$48B) could swing such a deal? NOK is much bigger as is SIEMANS.

Still think $20B too high today, look at the big deal that was made of the $12B ASND buyout.

anyone care to make additional comments on the logistics of a COMS buyout.

Believe me gents, I want coms bought out in the worst way, but what other response could a CEO give than "no comment". Wouldn't the stock tank if he says such a thing. It's a win - win if he just says no comment. I guy would have to be a rube to say "we have no interest in mergers". Right?

I still think the buy out will happen I just don't know what other language they could use. jmho.
