Wired Q: Embedded NT

Wed May 13 22:19:26 UTC 1998

Hi all,

James Glave at Wired News again. This time around I am seeking opinions on
behalf of a friend up at Wired (the print magazine) -- concerning embedded
NT. I couldn't find any discussion in the nanog archive, so I'm wondering
if anoyne here has any experience with, or knowledge of, embedding NT in
networking hardware - if that even makes any sense....?

Thanks, all!
