Phoenix OS/2 Society General Meeting: 3Com
We love hardware meetings.
Even for those of us who firmly believe that hardware was invented solely
for the purpose of providing something for us to experiment with nifty
software... hardware can be pretty compelling. I dare say that a high
percentage of Phoenix OS/2 Society members are running a computer without a
cover attached.
So we're especially glad that Brian Buckley, Outside Sales Representative
from 3Com, will speak at the Phoenix OS/2 Society's next general meeting, on
Tuesday, July 14 at 7:00pm.
His presentation will include an update on the exciting new U.S.Robotics 56K
V.90 modems from 3Com. (All 56K products are capable of downloads up to
56Kbps; however, 3Com reminded me, due to FCC regulations which restrict
power output, current download speeds are limited to 53 Kbps.)
Brian will also fill us in on the 3Com Bigpicture Video products, including
the new Bigpicture TVPhone. You no longer need a PC to see your friends and
family over a phone line.
We will also get a brief overview of the basics of networking. Did you ever
wonder how your email system really works? Plus, the extremely popular 3Com
Palm III is hitting the street as we speak.
Be sure to attend to get the inside scoop on one of the hottest new products
on the market today. Plus, there will be special prices on a selection of
3Com products, for members who attend the meeting.
