All of the commercial unixes grew and added features over time.
What is in Solaris 8 that was not in any version of Sun OS.
What is in HPUX 11 that was not in version 9.x or 10.x.
What is in Aix 4.x that was not in 2.x or 3.x.
Some things will be hard to add. The other unixes controlled their hardware which made it easier to add certain features. You were stuck with the hardware they would allow you to run. With the Intel world you can use a variety of (video cards, monitor, hard disks, motherboards, etc).
I have used a variety of unix systems over a 10 year period and have seen each of them grow. Linux will do the same.
If people treated their tapes the same way that most CD's are treated, ie. throw them in a pile in the corner, then most tapes would have a very short lifespan.
Most companies that I have worked for that used tapes send them off site, and put them into a controlled environment (humidity, temp, etc).
So what happens when everyone in your area uses the same dsl, cable or any land line solution. You'd better just be hoping this doesn't catch on as wires can only push so much data. There is NO solution that will not buckle under load.
Metricom's ricochet network used the mesh arrangment. It worked well, for the multi-city network for that company. The mesh is designed to get around local problems within a large network, ie. your local link died so you use the next closest link point.
Here is a thought Perhaps the furor over redhat getting so big(???) that they hijack linux may be being authored by the king of monopolies from Redmond. It would be in MS's best interest if there is a civil war in the linux community. Perhaps this is another attempt at stopping the linux steamroller.

I run my own mail server on my comcast system.
It does no redirects and is as tight as any commercial site.
I have been getting tons of spam lately, and none of
it is from comcast customers.
It comes from overseas, AOL, Yahoo, etc. but not comcast.
Just my experience.
Who says MS is not behind this. Maybe the SCO bosses will get nice jobs with microsoft, when this is
settled out.
It worked for Beluzzio(sp!) at SGI.

Should does work on all the older modems.
The newer GS/GT externals should also work.
The pcmcia cards will not work in this mode.
