From the Graveyard
You just read about 3Com. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
U.S. Robotics built Dial-up modems, access servers and consumer connectivity. What became of it?
U.S. Robotics brought Dial-up modems, access servers and consumer connectivity to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by 3Com for US$6.6B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside 3Com today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
Token Ring (802.5) served 1985–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
Token Ring (802.5) stations passed a small 'token' frame around a logical ring; only the token-holder could transmit, giving deterministic, collision-free access at the cost of ring-management overhead. Its job passed to Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
