[net.rumor] ROLM takeover by IBM

ken@turtlevax.UUCP (Ken Turkowski) (09/28/84)

I read in the paper yesterday that IBM is planning on buying ROLM.
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.
