Dear Margaret, Speadking of Cisco's recommendation last night on the WWW, I just saw this little publication on the web which mentioned Cisco: WHAT'S THE BUZZ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Although it has been the topic of discussion since 1996, it appears that major developments within the Internet2 framework are now official. On Tuesday, US Vice-President Al Gore unveiled a plan that involved about $500 million in funding from private investment for the new network that is expected to operate with double the bandwidth of the present Internet. Three companies, Qwest Communications International, Cisco Systems, and Northern Telecom are fronting the money for the improvements that will be facilitated by some of the top researchers in the field and operated exclusively at universities. In comparison to the kilobites and megabits per second that connectivity is presently measured by, Internet2 is purported to translate information at speeds of a much higher magnitude. The term whimsically used to describe the relative difference in speeds on Tuesday was LOC's per second, or Library of Congress per second. While this type of thinking does set high standards to achieve, the reality is expected to be far from the LOC model, yet noticeably faster. Internet2 will not be available immediately to the public, but technology and applications developed on the university system are expected eventually to help speed up the global Internet. Warm Regards Frank
