What does 3Com have that Cisco would want to buy them out? The Palm Pilot? I don't think so? Modems and interface cards? Not! Remote Access? Already covered. Enterprise Switching? Ditto!

Sun should buy out the Palm portion of 3Com.... Palm's on Java - I like that combo Old news from last year: azstarnet.com Snip: >>>Perhaps 3Com, which has threatened (but has not been taken seriously) to sue Microsoft for use of the ''Palm'' designation, should have allied with Sun's JavaSoft division. No Palm Java or Java Pad units were in evidence here, a curious omission for a platform that promises to revolutionize computing by enabling developers to write programs once for a myriad of devices. <<< But maybe no one will buy 3Com out.
