Egads, he lives. Bridge to the past? Still 90% POTS by the year 2001. Have you seen the rates they charge to use those Marconi-vintage phones? Anything to the recently talked about theory of potentially disrupting brain cells by having 2W of modulated microwave energy permiating your skull on a regular basis? Put a tuned cavity around the antenna and you can warm a hamburger with them.

Rod, good post. I've suspected for a long time that BT would not be able to penetrate the mass (business) market without partnering with one of the 3 major RA vendors - 3Com, Ascend or Cisco. Inacom, DG, et al, just don't have the muscle in remote access. Hell, DG is a server company. A good one to be sure, but their customers aren;t going to look at them for remote access solutions. Also, what little window of opportunity there was has quickly vanished as corporate IT budgets are being redirected towards y2k projects. In my opinion, BT's best hope is a buyout by a major networking player, and I doubt they have anything that can't be easily replicated.
