Scary thing, archives.  Cisco recently announced a relationship with
Echelon (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/146/june98/4.html)  So one
of my coworkers typed "cisco and echelon" into a web search engine,
and what popped up but a 1995 message from me, where I blasted Echelon
for being "not hacker friendly"...
