I've been watching this go on for some time now and actually
have been mildly amused by it all.  However, I think that
this has gone a bit too far..... In a previous life I worked
"a bit" on KNET. In fact, I was the development manager of it
at the time that IBM's TCP hit the street. Obviously, we at
Spartacus had a desire to keep abreast of what was going on with
the product. At first it was bad. All products are. It rapidly got
better. Most, if not all, of this was apparently due to Jay's
efforts. As an ex competitor, I would say that Jay rates being
a real programmer (or at least in V=R space :-). 


I have not been following this area for a couple of years
now. Maybe Jay's efforts were "recognized" at IBM so they
promoted him out of being a techno-geek into being a
management-drone. If so, I'm sorry.


To keep the lawyers happy....
This message in no way reflects the opinions, etc, of Racal
Interlan, or etc Spartacus/Fibronics. Everything is my own
opinion.
