PROFILE |
 |
U.S. Robotics is back to its future. The company, best known for its line of consumer PC modems prior to its 1997 purchase by 3Com, is finding new life under the ownership of Taiwanese networking equipment maker Accton Technology and Singapore-based contract manufacturer NatSteel Electronics. (Each company owns about 40%.) The new U.S. Robotics offers internal and external modems for businesses and consumers, PC modem cards, wireless network access hubs, and ISDN terminal adapters. U.S. Robotics expects modems it has developed based on the V.92 standard, which allows faster data transfer than that of standard 56K modems, to fuel growth. 3Com has retained a minority stake in the company.
