[edit] Siemens buys 3COM!
If you go to product registration on the 3COM website, you can see at the bottom of the browser window that it redirects to secure-HTTP website "userreg.3com.sbs.siemens.com". This means Siemens, the leading german industrial and telecoms electronic manufacturer giant has purchased 3COM but they are keeping this secret. 195.70.48.242 07:43, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Do you feel lucky? Type 3Com and Siemens in Google and press "I'm Feeling Lucky" !
[edit] Hot Properties
In the late 90s US Robotics had two big winners on its hands, the USR modem and the Palm Pilot. It wasn't long after 3Com acquired USR that the dialup modem market began to disappear due to be rapid expansion of broadband internet. A few years later, we are seeing the Palm operating system giving over to the Pocket PC. I wonder if 3Comm thinks their purchase of US Robotics was worthwhile.--Landroo 17:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stadium
The page should mention that 3Com once had their name on Candlestick Park, later renamed Pac Bell Park. http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/C/Candlestick_Park.stm Quasar2112 05:20, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 3Com Company Profile Page
I noticed that there are several external links under "Business Data" that provides financial information (Google, Yahoo, Hoovers, etc) with stock info, and the like. We provide company profiles as well, and have a profile for 3Com which can be viewed here: 3Com Company Profile Can this link be added with the external resources?

[edit] Misleading claims about Intel
The assertion that 3com was second to Intel in networking equipment is dead wrong. 3com was to the NIC what Cisco was to the network router. What about the 3c5xx (ISA) and 3c9xx (PCI) series of network cards? Surely 3com was killing any sales of Intel cards when those were at their height in the late 90's. To be even more blunt, I still would doubt that Intel has even come close to matching 3com's market share in the 90's. It may be true today that Intel has become a leader, after 3com exited the NIC business due to mismanagement, but for the bulk of networking history it wasn't. You have to take into account more than just recent history when making such assertions, according to WP policy. Please get your facts straight. This article is lacking in many other aspects, but this is the most glaring. --130.127.121.188 (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
