Mindspeed was a spinoff from Conexant Systems which came out of Rockwell around 2000.
Was Conexant that modem company? Part of Conexant became Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS). That one was red hot in 1997-99, long before I got it.
Heck, I didn't even know I inherited Mindspeed until something showed up in the mail recently. Like most of this stuff, Mindspeed doesn't pay a dividend or issue a 1099 form at year-end.

In regard to Old ATT, I own something like TWO shares of one spinoff of a spinoff of a spinoff.
