ROLM will keep its name, but be a wholly owned subsidiary of IBM. This means that IBM is serious about competition with AT&T. One of the first products will be integration of voice and data in a voice mail system. -- Ken Turkowski @ CADLINC, Palo Alto, CA UUCP: {amd,decwrl,flairvax,nsc}!turtlevax!ken ARPA: turtlevax!ken@DECWRL.ARPA
