Hi Eric - Novell entered into several partnerships to exploit the NEST technology. However, I have not been able to find any follow-up information on the status of those partnerships. Perhaps someone that worked on the various projects could share some information with us. ----------------------------------------------------- (Novell (1995, Sep. 13) Novell and Utilicorp Form Partnership To Deliver Smart Energy Networks Over Utility Power Lines. Together the two companies have founded the Smart Energy Network Alliance. novell.com --------------------- November 20, 1995 Novellr, Inc. today announced a partnership with Stellar One Corporation to integrate Novell1s Nested Netware technology into the Stellar 1000 line of TV set-top boxes. novell.be ----------------- Do you remember if Novell detailed any of these programs in their SEC filings? Regards, Elmo

Mike Sheridan and NEST I wonder if it would be worth an Email to ask Mike Sheridan if he had ever heard of NEST. The question I have is which components would a network appliance need? It has to be able to execute JAVA code, communicate over a wire with a TCP/IP protocol, collect local data and respond to JAVA commands sent back to it over the wire. Are there any systems out there that could do this without requiring Windows CE? In other words how simple can the network appliance be made to be. It needs to collect data, transmit data and execute commands to operate the appliance. The controlling "program" can be run on the server. Sheridan has just finished investigating all of this at SUNW. I wonder if anyone knows what he did there?
