Don't have a scanner, so I've typed it in by hand:

IBM Unit to Sell Systems to Web Service Providers
By a Wall Street Journal Staff Reporter

ARMONK, N.Y. - International Business Machines Corp. has formed a new business unit to sell
hardware, software and computer services to the rapidly growing cadre of Internet service
providers, industry executives said.
IBM plans to announce the unit today, industry executives said. The Internet Service Provider
Industry unit will concentrate on sales and marketing of high-end computer systems and
business software to ISP's. The group will be headed by James Corgel, a former Europe-based
executive for IBM.
IBM is creating the unit in response to the rapid expansion of the Internet and the proliferation
of service providers -- from large telecommunications companies to tiny shops. IBM will focus
on three main sets of products: computer servers and other large computers, software for
conducting business via the Web and messaging software to allow businesses
to communicate with customers, industry executives said.
The company's big ISP customers include AT&T Corp., Deutsche Telekom AG and Sprint Corp.
The unit will pull its sales, marketing and service staffs from existing units, industry executives
said.

If the highlighted part refers to something OTHER THAN Dr. Bean, it's sure been a well kept
secret!!
