3Com SA has announced the local availability of its OfficeConnect Networking Kit, a networking solution designed expressly for small businesses. The kit offers all the hardware necessary to connect up to three personal computers, enabling users to build a new network or expand an existing LAN. According to 3Com SA`s product marketing manager, Gavin Levin, the OfficeConnect Networking Kit is part of 3Com`s new small business initiative, a multi-faceted program designed to reach the small business customer through the appropriate channels, products, and marketing efforts. "3Com recognises the special product requirements and purchasing needs of the small business environment, and is developing products and channel programs directly addressing the demands of this rapidly growing market," says Levin. As the industry leader in stackable hubs and network interface cards (NICs), 3Com incorporates two of its strongest selling products in the OfficeConnect Networking Kit -- the (eight port) OfficeConnect Hub 8/TPC, three EtherLink III TPO network interface cards (NICs) and three 50-foot UTP cables.

Optimal Performance, Ease of Use and Compatibility Levin points out that 3Com`s EtherLink III network interface cards offer exceptional 10 Mbps Ethernet performance, up to 46 percent faster than the competition coupled with 3Com`s unmatched reliability. "In addition, the EtherLink III network interface cards are compatible with all leading network operating systems, including Windows 95, Windows NT, Novell NetWare and Artisoft LANtastic. The OfficeConnect Hub 8/TPC, part of 3Com`s line of clippable, expandable hubs, allows small business users to upgrade and enhance their networks as business needs evolve, preserving the original investment in 3Com hardware.
