FWIW: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38293-2003Oct16.html .... VeriSign Inc. announced yesterday that it will sell Network Solutions, the Herndon-based registrar of Internet addresses, for $100 million in a deal that will allow VeriSign to retain exclusive control of the valuable .com and .net database. VeriSign, which acquired Network Solutions in 2000 for $15 billion in stock, said it agreed with Pivotal Private Equity, an Arizona-based investment firm, to sell the unit by the end of the year. VeriSign will keep a 15 percent stake. .... {Me thinks Verislime paid SAIC way too much....} -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
