Anyway, the rumor is > that WNT was formed by taking "VMS" and adding one from each letter! While I don't know if this rumour is true, it is highly plausible, given that the core NT development team consisted of VMS people (don't recall the names at the moment). When I learned a bit or two about telephony I thought I found the right meaning of NT: in telephony, it means "Network Termination". Sounds about right. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] If it aint't broken it hasn't got enough features yet. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
