What do you mean, "originally"? :-)
AFAIK, the SMB protocol is, was, and always will be, so outrageously
vulnerable to violations and exploits that it can not be used for any
public WAN links, even if it could provide the necessary performance.
SMB is built into *every* MS product, as it is the entire core of the
"Windows networking" world.
You're being a bit too gentle, I'd say, Paul. Was that on purpose?
Thanks for your time. Hope it helps.

Precisely.
"Allchin, according to the company, does not have the same concerns
about all open-source approaches in general. "There are other kinds of
open-source licenses that encourage third-party development but without
the same constraints, including the BSD license," Microsoft
representatives said."
I've mentioned in the past that the GPL is fundamentally one of the most
anti-competitive practices possible. It is so anti-competitive, in
fact, that it cannot be mitigated or deterred, let alone overwhelmed,
subverted, or "hijacked" by even the most complete, secure, and
unavoidable monopoly that has ever existed, providing power to the
richest and most singularly powerful corporation on the planet, with its
founder being the richest man on the planet.
And the moment that commercial software (copyright wrapped in a trade
secret, I've called it) in its present monopolistic form disappears, so
will any reason an author has to place his work under a GPL, rather than
any other open license.
I'd say this is a crowning achievement, and watershed turning point in
the history of civilization. Wouldn't you?

Try P659, last paragraph:
----
"The simplest form of communication between processes is by
*pipes*,
...
A pipe is essentially a queue of bytes between two processes".
----
From this it seems that they are making it pretty clear that a pipe
is a form of IPC. It is not simply reading output from one command
and using that as input for another.

And remember, folks. Companies providing Linux are dying left and right.
Everyone is seeing the Linux hype for what it really is: hype.
The Microsoft Operating System is therefore the way to go and everyone
should buy a copy of Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP (when it
comes out) as soon as possible, and forget about Linux because it
obviously isn't cutting the mustard as a profitable solution.
Spot The Flaw.

Your uptime as a human is greater than the NT servers in your shop.

When you do sleep, it's for less time than the typical NT reinstall.
