03/06/97 - Taken from ZD NET's Anchor Desk w/ Jesse Berst:
"Modem Coalition Accelerates 56K Push; 3Com, U.S. Robotics Merger Makes This Hopeful"

The essential 56K modem standard we've been calling for got a boost with two important announcements:

1) a coalition of 28 computer and equipment makers to develop a common standard;
2) the merger of 3Com (a member of that coalition) with U.S. Robotics, the company that pioneered the 56K modem but boycotted the coalition.

Though much is being made of the whopping $6.6 billion deal that would create a networking company second only to Cisco Systems in size, the real boon is that it should suck reluctant U.S. Robotics Ñthe consumer modem industry leader Ñinto the coalition 3Com supports. End result: Faster modems FASTER!
