Hoping to speed Internet access times, 3Com Corp., of Santa Clara, Calif., last week
added Web caching capabilities from Mangosoft Corp., of Westboro, Mass., to its
latest versions of OfficeConnect.
Mangosoft's CacheLink will be a part of 3Com's LAN, modem and router product lines.
The client-side software tool for PC desktop systems should speed access to commonly
viewed Web pages and downloadable files, officials said.
CacheLink connects the browser caches of computers on an enterprise's local
network into a single large cache pool.
CacheLink will be included with OfficeConnect ISDN, 56K, Dual 56K and IDSL
LAN modems and the OfficeConnect Remote 812 and 840 routers.
