Maybe Novell was just ahead of its time with NEST but perhaps they should have continued the development anyway.

NEST-enabled Set-top Box

NEST software lets a television set-top box act as a node on a computer network, turning the worlds' vast cable broadcast infrastructure into a powerful multimedia computer network. NEST gives a traditional cable-tv connection new, two-way communications capabilities, allowing viewers to access a wide array of interactive services including video-on-demand, travel reservations, banking, shopping and electronic mail through their television settop box. Communications over broadband cable-tv connections will provide far greater speed and reliability than currently available modem/telephone connections. Novell's graphical navigator technology, code-named Corsair, provides a simple user interface, allowing people to browse the network options of their choice.

Since its launch in February, NEST has gained wide acceptance as a versatile way to build networking capabilities directly into any intelligent device. Novell and major automobile manufacturers are now discussing the possible use of NEST in vehicle systems to support remote diagnostics over wireless networks. Novell has also signed an agreement with Microware to implement NEST in interactive TV set-top boxes.

I'm still looking for information about the sale or transfer of NEST.
