I have always said that people in the computer field rediscover things every five years .. Here is an example (well it is every 10 years in this case). Unless I read it wrong (which I doubt). In an article about the Sand Hill Road Venture Capital folks.there is a piece about Whistle Communications, and the example they discuss with a "hot" idea. Whistle has a cheap way to connect small business to the Internet using phone lines. (they could call it PhoneNet! - re CSNet's way of connecting small schools and business lans to the internet via phone lines we did at UDel and called it PhoneNet) Always nice to see people pick up good ideas .. was then .. is now http://www.sjmercury.com/business/sandhill1116.htm
