    Umm .. 3COM ? They're still around? .. Last I heard of them it was 1999 and they were spinning off Palm. Not kidding.

    Maker of switching and networking gear intends to compete with maker of switching and networking gear! Stop the presses! Yes Cisco dominates, but 3Com has been trying to win a bigger market share in this arena for many years. They even do *gasp* IP telephony.

    Parent is a Troll!
    Cisco does not own 3Com and never has. (And probably never will if 3Com management has anything to say about it).
