If that rumor about Lucent buying 3Com is true then I am selling my ASND/LU and buying Cisco. I just don't see the synergies between them! The entire remote access line is duplicated. The Palm Pilot is nice, but I wouldn't buy the whole company for it. Oh, I forgot, what about that huge line of low-margin interface cards, PCMCIA, and modems. I don't get it!!!!! Let's see.... Cisco has been kicking 3Com's ass for many years now.... Why don't we buy their second-rate product line. IF Lucent was smart they would buy Cabletron! At least they would get the Yago router and Spectrum Enterprise Management System. Come on McGinn, you did well when you bought Ascend so don't go over the edge with 3Com. Steve
