Ron. Where did the back ncp come from?as I said I never saw it and we tried
to find one. Same for an IP implementation. That's why we wrote one. We
were 3coms first customer and I somewhere have the mailing evenlope marked
the 32 of December because they had a VC payment dependent on delivering
before end of year.
As for 11s. Yes that is true. A lot of them front ended large systems as
Bob pointed out but many were self supporting as you note.
