- Well, the example I used in the conf. could be applied to any networked
- LAN. OUrs is a Unix workstation hooked to our campus backbone. The
- information that we collect for the box that connects our Macs to that Unix
- box (Sun Sparc Workstation) can download information directly to Cayman
- (the company who makes the box). It could be done with almost any software
- we run with just a bit of pr0gramming. Even individual software packages
- like MS Word, PageMaker, . . . .
