New Sales channels!? ... Scott can you help us find out if BorderManager is being 'OEMed' to be sold under other company's logos?

I just received an Ad from BSD (Berkley Software Division) for a 'new product' call BSDI Groupgate - Web Acceleration Gateway, description follows:

The new power-cached BSDI GroupGate combines a proven Novell-to-Intenet gateway/firewall with high performance Web acceleration for an instant Internet performance boost to Internet-hungry workgroups throughout the enterprise. BSDI GroupGate speeds Novel-to-Web access by 10 to 150 times over unchaced access speeds. A single GroupGate powered PC gateway can connect up to 250 Novell users to the Internet.

Sure sounds like BorderManager to me!

If Novell really has decided to sell OEM versions of it's products, it could lead to a massive increase in sales volume ... with other vendors product names instead of Novell's ... still it would be revenue coming into Novell ... we can figure out how much later.

BTW BSDI (IMHO) seems to be the premier supplier of ISP Software for those ISPs that use Intel boxes for Internet access ... my 'anecdotal' survey of local ISPs shows that most start with NT (because they know Windows, and they don't consider other options) ... but when their load starts to pick up most switch to BSD UNIX. So ... this could be good, very very good ... can you find out and let us know?

Thanks
