Good one, Marshall. What do Rod and a cheap oriental rug have in common?

Marshall, even though I'm looking forward to hearing about the April 8th Inacom Oakland remote access seminar, I wonder how BeThere fits in with their emphasis on Internet-based solutions such as PPTP, VPN, etc. (which is the direction that many major companies such as Dow Chemical are heading). In one way, it seems encouraging that Morimoto et al. see that BT has a "place at the table" with all of the other options that they offer: inaoak.com But it seems that place at the table is rather small - a specialized application that is considered only after VPN, PPTP tunneling, etc. are first considered as the most cost-effective solutions. I guess I'm hoping to be reminded why I bought this stock in the first place. If the Internet-based solutions are not as good as BT, why is Inacom emphasizing them? Here's Inacom's latest journal, which has no mention of BT: inaoak.com Inacom Oakland Journal April 1998 Issue Article 1: Opening the Gates: Virtual private networks (VPNs) connect companies to the world via the Internet. Article 2: Network Roadmap: New directory standard improves access, streamlines operations. Article 3: A Professional Security Review Can Help You Find - and Plug - Security Holes
