Stockman, I think it fits very well. Like everything else in this industry, the nature of remote access is changing, with application specific products filling the various new roles. The NOC switch being just one example. Plus, I know quite a few people at New Oak and they're a good bunch, glad to have them (back) on the team. Regards, Lerxst

Stockman, From what I understand, the NOC switch is targeted at corporations that provide remote access to there employees. Instead of employees dialing in on an 800 # to gain access to the companies intranet, they would dial a local # into their ISP and would be able to use the internet as the mechanism to connect to the corporate intranet. What's the difference? Ask the CIO who has to pay the bill for the 800#. ISP's will still require the RAS equipment to allow dial access for their customers. Corporations will still have RAS equipment but on a smaller scale. In addition, here's a way for all those with cable modem's to get in to the corporate intranet. Anyway, that's my $.02 GR
