- I'm sorry, but your information is incorrect. Novell bought Excelan in
- the summer of 1989 and the EXOS 205 product was sold to FTC in early
- 1990. Pretty quick for selling off a hardware line, i'd say. Perhaps
- you're being confused because Novell continued to sell the EXOS 205 as
- part of its LAN WorkPlace for DOS package until 1991.
