 Returning Products for Repair
 -----------------------------

 A product sent directly to 3Com for repair must first be assigned a Return
 Materials Authorization number (RMA).  A product sent to 3Com without an
 RMA number will be returned to the sender unopened, at the sender's
 expense.

 When you call for an RMA number, be prepared to provide the product name,
 serial number, and diagnostic error messages.  Payment, shipping
 instructions, and turnaround time will be confirmed when the RMA number is
 assigned.

 To obtain an RMA number, call or fax:

 Europe            Phone  (44) 442 278125
                   Fax    (44) 442 236824
