Nortel, Northern Telecom, and Norweb --- Where is Novell?

My stove is my computer. It can have JAVA conversations over the power line with the web server.

Sound too far fetched. Not for friends of mine in the power control engineering field who have been using networks and dial-up networks for decades to manage energy consumption at industrial plants remotely.

Now we have a serious effort on the part of the Nortel in this area. They are looking to put a box on the power line capable of communicating with intelligent appliances in the home and remote servers and the Internet.

Is Novell in the picture?

I would love to go to an Internet site. Type in my password. Access my second home. Turn up the heat. Check the video security camera. Check the weather. Recieve Email from my failing appliances (such as my telephone answering machine knocked out by the power outage, that now needs to be reset. Etc. Etc.

The key is "intelligent appliances" to cut the cost of adding little boxes to light switches etc. That means some standard. And then there needs to be a network.

Is Novell in the picture?

Incidentally Nortel wants to make the power lines coming into your house, the instant Internet access ramp to high speed data communications.

Are Novell servers in the picture?
