Fails WP:ORG. No references. Unedited since 2009. Mr. Guye (talk) 03:25, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There's no way this should be deleted. It was a real company that played a role in the communications industry in that era. It was purchased for a huge amount of money. Here is a link to a NYT article about the acquisition. http://www.nytimes.com/1996/10/08/business/3com-in-245-million-deal-for-onstream-networks.html Added four references and formatting to the article. ~Brholden

Delete. Fails WP:NCOMPANY -> WP:CORPSPAM. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:12, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not spam, and the quarter-billion dollar valuation is not peanuts. However, it seems a flash in the Internet bubble. I would say merge to 3Com since the story needs to be told, but this will never reach a notability limit by itself. Also clearly nothing to do with solutions.
