use PCMCIA as the fist card level form factor.

a proposed initial public offering of 2 million shares of stock. The Mountain View
company is a leading manufacturer of SS wireless local area networking products.

- Ameritech Corp. and General Electric Co. announced a joint venture Monday to sell
electronic data networks to multinational companies. Ameritech, the Midwestern
