However, you @ might want to look at some of the research funded by some other @ organizations as well. Perhaps, DARPA. Hint: think "ARPANET." @ Yes, the U.S. Government has funded its share of "network research". Some people have learned to "steer" (manipulate?) the U.S. Government agencies in a direction that suits their personal and corporate needs. This ensures their success because most people follow the U.S. Government's lead no matter how good or bad the technology or decision making. -- Jim Fleming Unir Corporation http://www.Unir.Corp
