I believe you are referring to "Auscom", in Austin, Texas. I have seen their
large ads (in Electronics News? EEN? Electronics Week? Data Communications?).
I would also be interested if you find out anything about them.

(I don't know if they are any relation to "Austron", also of Austin, who used
to make general-purpose IBM channel interfaces, which a previous employer of
mine many years ago used quite successfully.)
