Hi Paul - I stumbled across this while researching the emerging DSL technology. Technology to sew together devices across the network Novell, TI team up on Digital Thunder Deepak Kumar Provoh, Utah In a significant effort to push its Network Directory Services (NDS)technology, networking software major, Novell, has collaborated with Texas Instruments (TI) to `directory enable' TI's top-of-the-line digital signal processing (DSP)-based platform TMS320C6000. As a direct result of this collaboration, both Novell's and TI's India development centers(IDCs) are expected to work more closely on developing the new technologies. New DSP-Based Technology Platform from Texas Instruments Powers Converging Networks and Enables Distributed Intelligence (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/news/1999/99027a.htm) DSP solutions and the Digital Thunder Platform will be especially important in network systems that require a high level of intelligence at the edge of the network. Applications identified to date include virtual private networks (VPNs), Voice-Over-IP (VOIP) gateways, LAN-to-WAN bridges, access traffic shapers, network packet processing, broadband access concentrators and routers, videoconferencing systems, and a variety of other functions. Additional uses include laser printers, color copiers, digital cameras and other networked equipment that require real-time processing, as well as core network functions. "We anticipate that the Digital Thunder Platform program will enable entirely new applications that people haven?t even considered," said David G. Brenner, director of Texas Instruments? Network DSP Business. ============================================================ Although this was discussed in April 1999, where is Novel with this technology? I specifically am thinking about utilizing this technology in the enterprise VoDSL environment, perhaps even to optimize the CLEC, ISP and RBOC's xDSL exchanges. EKS
