537.0. "Stratacom ??" by CSOA1::ECK () Thu Jul 22 1993 18:30

    Any opinions on Stratacom? Apparently they make frame relay networking
    equipment....Digital and Stratacom have a joint marketing relationship
    ....Stratacom (OTC - STRM) announced earnings yesterday with earnings
    and revenue up nicely.  Stock is $12.50 or so.  What do you think??
    Buy, sell or hold?

537.1Who's the best in the industry for fiberoptics?DABEAN::NEARYBob NearyThu Jul 22 1993 19:5127
    
    
    Read about it a year or so ago .. was going to invest but don't know
    enough about the field to no their competition,etc . If I remember
    correctly, what they do is:
    
    They make transition equipment that goes at the end of fiberoptics and 
    interfaces to the phone company's equipment

    I don't know if they're the best, or the cheapest or the only company
    doing it . Who's their competition ? What if Corning, or DSC or
    other big Fiberoptic network mfr company decided to go after this mkt ?
    That's why I didn't buy last year .. didn't know enough about the 
    company/market , etc .

537.3up $4 last two daysCSOA1::ECKFri Oct 15 1993 11:404
    Stratacom  ---  STRM (OTC) up $4 to $18 in the last two days.  Must be
    because of the buying frenzy associated with MA BELL's (see .1). 
    Earnings to be announced Oct 20, same day as Digital.  Hang on to your
    hats!
