I remember way back then, when we were evaluating whether to buy Proteon or Cisco, scanning the hosts table (which still listed all the routers in the internet then, along with what KIND they were) to see what Cisco's market penetration was. it was growing fast enough that we thought they might stay in business. ;) it's still a good idea for cisco to remember proteon (and what they did wrong), though virtually no one from cisco today has ever heard of proteon, too bad--the lessons are still relevant, perhaps more than ever.
Umm, when Cisco bought IBM's router division, didn't they take on the support contracts for those routers? The IBM 2210 had a lot of Proteon history... -- John Payne http://www.sackheads.org/jpayne/ john () sackheads org http://www.sackheads.org/uce/ Fax: +44 870 0547954 To send me mail, use the address in the From: header
