overview of the entire 'IA' field, see 1998 Internet
@ppliances Industry Report: A Guide to Technology, Products, and

email, news, ftp, and telnet software for the Palm OS and Windows

Today's IT manager is faced with a multitude of devices that capture
or present visual information. Too often, these devices offer different
interfaces, require unique drivers, and impose barriers that impede
communication and reduce productivity. In this review, Lisa Phifer
describes her experiences with JetSend, a protocol that promises
to simplify network printing by eliminating the middle man.

network connections in a single PC into two machines.
