For sometime, Microsoft hasbeen pursuing

there are fundamental differences. Microsoft's

instantly recoyure when a printer or other
peripheral is connected to a PC, and they
automatically install the right drivers for the

market. Boston-based industry research firm,
the Yankee Group, says some 650,000 U.S.
homes have become networked, and it expects
that number to climb to 10 million by 2003.
Karuna Uppal, senior analyst for the company's market research division, says the driviog
force is the growing number of homes with
two and more PCs and a variety of different
network-ready devices.
The trends in Canada are similar, according
to AC Nielsen Canada. The Markham, Ont.based research firm said in January that of the
homes that reported PC ownership, 30 percent
daimed to have more than one computer. This
is up from 27 percent in 1998. That works out
to about 1.25 to 1.5 million Canadian households that are candidates for some kind of networking infrastructure. (AC Nielsen Canada
also reported that 6I percent of Canadian
households now own at leastone PC, up from
58 percent a year ago.)
In order to tap into this growing market,
IBM Canada Ltd. has been showcasing its
Home Director network, which uses Category
5 Ethernet wiring to link a home's computers,
phones, televisions and even security system. It

Both Sun and Microsoft recognize the
importance of simplicity and working within
existing structures, and are working with a
variet
y of networking manufacturers to make
their initiatives compatible with their home
networking solutions. Sun's.corn Home initiative, for example, is network agnostic.
At CES, Cisco Systems showcased its Home
Gateway 2000 line of devices that would afiow
for multi-service delivery of high-speed, broadband connectivity into the home. The gateway
technology is designed to allow a home to be
networked so it can accessa variety of new services and content, such as online games and
entertainment, multimedia, and the next generation of high-end television. Cisco says the
Home Gateway 2000 line is designed to work
with Sun' s.corn Home architecture.
"Sun is promoting fava and lini, but that is
really an interface internal to the home,
between PCs, right to stereos," says Louie Di
Diodato, a consulting systems engineer for
Cisco Systems Canada Co., in Toronto."We are
focusing on networking afi of those devices to

Home Network solutions use existing phone
lines to connect PCs and devices to a network.
Its latest AnyPoint Phoneline Home Network
products support the HomePNA 2.0 specification. It can deliver data at up to 10 Mbps,

Group, perhaps Bluetooth. some proprietary
wirdess systems, and a wireless Ethernet solution based on the IEEE (Institute of Electrical
and EieIronies Engineers) 802.11 specification. The 802.11b "high rate" standard was
recently ratified. Devices using 802.11b will
have a top data transfer speed of 11 Mbps.
Recently, 3Comrolled out an 11 Mbpswireless network solution, AirConnect, which is
based onthe802.11b specification. While urrently aimed at the enterprise and mid-sized
business market, 3Com expects wireless technology to eventually make its way into the
home,offeringanother networkingalternative
for older homes. One advantage with a wireless solution is the ability to roam while staying
connected to the network. rather than being
tethered by a phone line.

Other manufacturers have also introduced
HomePNA 2.0-compatible home networking
products. For example, Oakvifie. Ont.-based
D-Link Networks has introduced the D-Link

and manufacturers are likely to question
whether there wifi be a market for the higher
priced, enhanced products.
NCR Corp. encountered that reaction when
it demonstrated a microwave oven with a Web
browser on its door. The device produced
more giggles than inquiries about when it
would becomecommercially available.

"These are people (home appliance manufacturersj that build low cost, high volume
devices and make money doing it," Giga's
Enderle says. "In the PC market, the margins
are thin and in the appliance market they are
ultra thin. There is not a lot of extra money to
do things like throw flat-panel screens into
refrigerators or microwave ovens. Those are
things that would sell to a very small audience.
These are volume initiatives and the question
is whether Sun or Microsoft can really drive it
or will it need somebody like General Electric

to make it happen." Q

Diamond Multimedia also makes a wireless

a Diamond representative at Comdex recently

that the company is waiting for a firming up of

Digital TVs are being designed with the
future in mind. In addition to receiving
today's analogue signal, the HDTV-ready sets
are designed to accep
t tomorrow's digital TV
signals that promise further enhancement to
picture quality and sound.
TV and computers an: merging, and the TV is
poised to begin playing a pivotal role not just as
an entertinment unit, but as a powerful source
of information linked directly to the Internet,
expected to prove popular not just with consumers but perhaps with businesses aswelL
Within the nein ymr, television sets will be
introduced that will enable users to access
email and to surf the Internet from the comfort of their couches. With these new uses, digital high-resolution television monitors could
begin making their presence felt more widely
among small and home office users.

Emerging technology essentially is bringing
the computing world right to your TV screen.
Recently
, researchers in the U.S. successfully
sent high-degnition television (HDTV) signals to each other using next-generation
Internet technology. HDTV is a digital version
of today's TV signal that can display images
with much greater darity.
Passing a data-intensive HDTV signal in
real time required the use of the Internet2 network, a higher-speed version of the Internet
that's capable of delivering data up to 85,000
times Sister than a typical dial-up modem.
According to experts, thc meant demonstration proved that the Internet may one day
deliver broadcast-quality video to every home.
As technologies develop, we can look (orward to delivery of interactive TV entertainment that is actually tied to e-commerce sewices. One day, consumers will be able to see a
product on TV, click a button, and gnd out
details, such as the price of it and where to buy
it. In minutes, viewers can purchase the same
chic coat Victor Newman is wearing on Tiir
Young andTheRcs/kss.
As the Internet replaces TV broadcasts with
"cybercasts," a whole new world of entertainment and information will open up to viewers.

management in those days was based on
poop). you'd run into a hiker or hunter or fisherme making their way with morc or less the

Where such devices have been a boon to
professionals for a number of years, it is only
recentl
y that manufacturers have begun to
address what might be called a consumer

instruments that are finding a wide market
among outdoor types regardless of practicafity
or practicability. Such qualitative factors are

many of the devicesdiscussed here, but represents them at CFE Equipment Ltd. in

Perhaps the most widely coveted digital outdoor devicethese days. a GPS takes signals
from 27 sateUitesput into the stratosphere
by the U.S. specificafiy for this purposeto
determine a 3D reading of the user's exact
position on the face of the earth in terms of
latitude, longitude and altitude.
Not quite s)f sufficient to JamesBond standards yet, with this device you'U still need a
map of the area you' re in with accurate latitude, longitude and elevation coordinatsand the ability to read that map in order to
establish your location. But, with that ancillary
item and skill at hand, chances are you will
never get lost in the woods or at sea again (or

Usefulfm:hiking,hunting, orienteering,boating, anysit-
uationin whicha standardcompass is used.

Not too far removed from GPS in terms nf
intent, a digital compass helps you find out
where you are with the help of elemronics to
point out true and magnetic north. Like GPS,
some digital compasses can store way-points
to record your course and/or work your way
backward. This function will also work as a
guide map along any pre-planned or pre-programmed route by telling you when and which
way to turn. Common to afi models is that
readingscan be displayed in digiral form or as
full of poop).
These days, however, as with so many
aspects of our lives. the digital world has
reached forth into the wilderness allowing
those same biologists, hikers, hunters and fishermen to avail themselves of a wide range of
electronics to replace the old analogue stuff,
while adding new "conveniences" to the out-

Paradoxically, thse digital devices still use a

More insidious is the fact that the U.S. deliberately makes the satellite readings fuzzy, so
accuracyis only to severalmetres.Th e raeon
for this is somewhat vague, but essentially the
U.S. dos not want the technology it developed
to be used against it by foreign governments
for targetting guided weapons. The U.S. can
also turn off the GPS sateUite system at any
time and actually did so during thGulf War.
While there is no way around an actual system shut-down, GPS units in the $100,000
rangenot only offr"sub-centimetreaccuracy"
but get around the deliberate fuzziness with
their ability to address an established basestation with real-time correction.
However, at the less professional level, the
size and price of CPS receivers has dramatically fallen as the ability and feature sets have
risen. There are numerous models available at
prices that vary widely.
Unique on the market is the Casio
Pathfinder PATIGP-I, which can be worn on
your wrist like a

handy little unit
includs an eight

from at least three
to calculate latitude, lo ngitude
and altitude. It can
store up Zo 200 way-points so you can work
your way back to your starting point if lost.
You can also pre-define the latitude and longitude of your intended destination so the
PATIGP-i wiU generate a navigation screen to
show direction and distance to specific coordinates from your current position.
A map plot feature lets you scale the display

meansthe PAT IGP-I takesreadingseverysecond), it not only displays your position, it calculates your travd time and speed so you can
estimate the time of arrival at your intendd
destination. Accuracy,unfortunately, is rlatively low for a GPS device at 30 metres but
that's the trade ofi for such miniaturized convenience. Even lessfortu nate is a battery life of
only 4-12 hours (depending on which mode it
issetat),so you'd better move quickly orcarry

a pocketful of CR2 lithium batteries.
Expea to pay about $750 for this item in
Canada. AvailabiTity is limited at time of writ-
determine readings, which means it is best to

hold the device at least close to level when taking readings. The major difierence between
digital compassesand their mechanical coun-
terparts lies in how the directional data is displayed.

Pricesdifferencesare accounted for by quality of construaion, number of featuresand the
size and quality of the display.
What Rolph says: "A compasswon't tell you
where you are like GPS does, it just displays
direction. The limiting factors to something
like this as with any of these devics in factis batteries. A digital compass makes things
easier as long as the batteries have power, so
you should always carry a backup battery or

range than cheaper examples. One $5,0M
semi-professional example has a maximum
range under ideal conditions of about 500 m
(545 yd.), whde a much cheaper, consumeroriented model reads up to l,000 m (1,090
yd.). The difference is accuracy. The professional model will calculate distance to within 3
cm (1.17 in.), but the cheaper machine can be
off by I m (39.36 in.).

One of the more prominent limitations of
range6ndersin general is that they are most
accurate when taking a levd reading. Taking

measurements up or down hill renders them
ineffectiv within limits speciged for each spe-
cific model.
Other variables of these devices include format (the consumer models tend to look like
binoculars while the higher-end units are look
more like scopes), size, weight. day/night

usability, and, as always, battery life.
What Rolf says: "If you' re shooting on a
slope you' re going to get the distance along
that slope, not the horizontal distancealthough the higher-end modds allow you to
adjust for slope. Also, with the laser type, you
haveto have a 6rm surface to shoot to.It'svery
inefFective to shoot at dirt, or turf because
these types of materials just absorb the laser
instead of reflecting it. Trees are very effective
targets, as are buildings, cars, rocks, and things
of that nature. Also, the doser to a 90-degree
angle you are to the target, the more accurate
your rcargng will be."

theWeb, you have to exercise a healthydoseof
caution. I just wanted to oifer an additional
solution to the list of things to do to protect
yourself
. Instead of paying for Brewall software,
your readers should be made aware that
really great firewall software exists free for
personal and non-progt use from a company
called Zone Labs (hupytww

w.zoaeubs.com). Its
product, Zone Alarm. offers great 6rewall
protection and ease of use.
I learned about it from a Brewall and internet security s i te: G ibson R esearch
Corporation (Osp://www.grc.corn). I h a ve
RealPlayer running on my system land], lo

and behold, Zone Alarm informed me that
RealPlayer was trying to accem the Net without my permission (just likejef mentioned in
his artide). I' ve now blocked it from doing
that. With a product like this, there's no reason that Net users should be running unprotected. By the way. I do not have any afliliation
with either company but I believe in giving
credit where credit is due.

For both newdevices, there is a host of hardware and software add-ons, most developed
by third parties, but some by Palm Oue such
device, the collapsible Palm Portable

Keyboard (5149), is a useful alternative to the
Graffiti stylus input for entering large
amountsof text.
In total, the company says more than 500
hardware add-ons have been announced for
Palm devices, including a Rand McNally
Global Positioning System (GPS) and sueat

map softwarecalled Streetpinder.In February,
Kodak announced the PalmPix (US$179), a

device that turns the Palm into a digital camera. It wiB be released by summer, according
to Kodak.
Moskowitz says Palm has also formed
strategic alliances with companies induding
Nokia,
Quaicomm, and Sony,and heexpects
new digital applianceproducts incorporating
Palm technology to be delivered later in 2000.

Rsviaiting the family network

Continuedfram page35
Multimedia snd Intel have developed VSB
versions of their HomePNA products. This
solution not only relieves you of the tedious
job of laying cable to build a home network
(as do ag other phone line solutions), but it
mmns you don't even have to lift the lids on
your computers. With the USB kit, you just
plug the USB jacks into your PCs and the
other end of the lines into the wall plugs and,
ba-boom, they' re networked. Not only that
but if you have an iMac and a PC you' restill in
business! No platform compatibility issues.
Productslike these make usag happy.

If you aregetting a newcomputer andhave
been thinking that keeping the old onemakes
a lot of sense, investigate a phone line network. It allows you to share your Internet
account, printers, and other Peripherals.

telecommunications companies. With the
pushto turn it into a retail product, the documentation is being redone, he said.
Summary
We are sent many products to review each
month, and the acid test of what we truly
think about any of them is our own response
to the question "would I buy this product for
myselg" In the case of the ISB 2 LAN, the
answer is "yes." With a suggested retail price of
$520,it seems expensive for a home, but less
so for a homeotgce, and degnitely affordable

for a small business.
If you don't have multiple computers connected already, you' ll also have to consider the
expense of building a LAN. This indudes the
costofnetwork cards ($30 to $60 each),a hub
(less than $70 for a Bvc-port modd), and laying the network cabling. However, if you have
an existing LAN (or arc pbnning to install
one), and are contemplating gening highspeed Internet access through a cable or DSL
connection, ISB 2 LAN is a slick solution. The

utes), and our prints emerged within a minute

or so of that estimate. The HP 1220Cxi was
faster than our workhorse Xerox DocuPrint
C20, also a tabloid inkjet printer (with a printerengine from Iaxmark).
In terms of colour gde)jty and resolution,
we were very pleased with the test prints.
Printing a photographic image on tabloid-size
photo paper tests the printer's ability to evenly
distribute the inks over a large area, and for the
most part, on casual inspection, the HP creates
images as good as a photographic print. Even
when we used a magnifying glass, we could not
detect printer artifacts like "corduroy effects"
(where individual swathe of ink are visible).
W e encountered
one anomaly thatwe were not
able to reproduce, and which did not ouur
again, where the printer misregistered a 2 mm
wide swath. creating an oddly textured line
running across the print.
We also learned a lesson applicable to any
inkjeu clean the print heads before printing a
large image. After leaving the printer idle for
several days, we hit the print button in our
image-editing software program and went olf
to do something else. When we came back we
were disappointed to discover that the first two
inches of the print were severely off'-colour.
The magenta print head had apparently dried
during the period of inactivity, and it took a
number of passes before it undogged itself and
started working again.
14 them e substitute for dpi'7
In the inkjet world, there has been an ongoing
debate over the real benefit of dot resolution.
For example Epson, which produces printers
with 1,440 dot per inch (dpi) resolution,
maintains that there's no substitute for dpi
when it comes to producing the best looking
prints.
HP has long argued that image quality can
be achieved in other ways. and the HP 1220
uses PhotoREt III, the company's latest version
of its inking technology. Acmrding to HP,

PhotoREt III involves an ink layering process
that allows each dot on the page to be built
fmm up to 29 individual droplets of ink. The
company says this allows the printer to create
up 17 different levels of each of the primary
colours.
A second technology used in the HP 1220 is
called Colorsmart III, which is designed to
improve the reproduction of colours that can
make or break a photographic print skin
tones, for example. And, apparently bowing to

pressure from the "more dpi is better" camp,
HP also states that Desklet 1220 includes an
alternative p h ot o pr i n ting m o d e of
2,400xl,200 dpi on photo paper.
Adding it up
One characteristic of this and other tabloid
inkjet printers is their greater bulk in comparison to a letter-size printer. If your work-
space ison thesmall side, beprepared to have

the HP 1220Cxi take over a good portion of
it.
(3n the whole,we've been very imprmsed
with the print quality and speal of the HP
inkjet printers we' ve looked at recently, and the
1220 continues that tradition. USB and parallel interj'aces, plus the optional Ethernet module, give users connectivity options both at
home and in a small ofgce environment. A

Money 2000 costs $29.95 and has everything
mentioned above and more. Money 2000
Deluxe sells for $59.95 and adds additional
investment and planning information, as well
as a few functions for small busintus operators.

(There are mail-in rebate offers for both versions, which return $?0 and $15, respectively,
For the person who needs to track a few

stocksand maybe an RSP mutual fund, Money
Deluxe is a good choice. It is twice the price of
theregularversion, but for thatyou gettools
investments. One of those features is Roaming

Canadian mutual funds, more than ?7,000

Other benefits to the Deluxe package are some

Microsoft built a browser, which eventually
edipsed Netscape. Has the same thing happeacd with I ntuit's Quicken, a personal
finance product Microsoft tried to purchase
five years ago? Comparing the latest version of
Quicken and Money 2000 is like comparing
two beautiful siblings they are different, yet
very similar. In particular, I really enjoy the
clean look of Money 2000: it has lots oF white
space, yet maaages not to look too Spartan.
This year, Microsoft finally figured out what
intuit has long known: the Web portion of
personal finance software is very, very important. However, at the time of writing, the
Microsoft web page (htip://www.miciosait.corn/caa

ada/monsy/ozone/haaidng.htm) shows only a half
dozen or so Canadian financial institutions
that have added the download feature to their
sites. (I am lucky that my financial institution
supports Money and Quicken, and in testing,
downloads fmm both worked Sawlessly on
every occasion.) While only half a dozen institutions support Money, more than 20 offer
account transaction downloads for Quicken
(htipy/wwwquicken ca) Thc king remains on his
throne for another year. Ct

Composite and S-Video have long been the
primary method of geuing a video signal from
source (typically video tape) to capture card,
but DV has the potential to change that. Those
using an analogue camcorder or VCR will

probably have to content themselves with
composite/S-Video signals for now, but a new
generation of digital video cameras uses the
FircWire interface to transfer data between
cameras, appliances, and computer hardware.
Typically, these cameras connect to a standard
FircWire port, and software on the computer
is used to pull the signal &um the camera in
full digital quality.

For PCs that don't come with a standard
FireWire port (and most don' t. yet), DV editing solutions typically ship with a capture card
that features one or more built-in FireWire
ports. Those with a second port allow users the
option of adding other FireWirc devices,
Inc)uding external hard drives. Thc disadvantage of these cards. however, is that most of
them are DV only; in other words, capturing
from a VCR or analogue camera will require a
separatecapture solution. Cards that feature
both DV and analogue capture are available,
but thy tend t o b e m ore expensive.

No matter what kind of capture hardware you
choose, you' ll need a program to grab the
video and then edit into a usable format. There
are a fcw different software editing packages
available, and most hardware comes bundled
with some software. However, the bundled
software is generally a trial version of a more
powerful package. While novice users may find
it meets all of their capture and editing needs,
those looking for more control over the editing processmay want to look into a more powerful software solution.
AB bundled software comes with the video

for example). Some offer transitional effects,

128 chip and

adding digital VCR
functionality.
The All-In-Wonder 128
features a length of purple cable
(which is hard to miss on the desktopl) with
composite, S-Video and stereo audio inputs on
a block at the end. Output is done from another cable attached to the rear of the card, and
this cable also has the audio pass-through, to
attach to the input of the sound card.
The card features co-axial cable TV input, as
weU, and comes with a digital VCR program,
allowing you to record your favourite programs in real-time using special video compression. As with other cards. the capture function works best when capture size is smaller,
with more frames being dropped as the capture rem)ution increases. The card ships with
MGI VideoWave Il for capturing and editing
video.
Because it indudes the Rage 128 chip at its
hmrt, the All-In-Wonder 128 shines when it
comes to 2D/3D video accderation. The card is
available in both PCI and AGP formats, and in
16 and 32 MB versions. We looked at the 16
MB AGP model, which comes bundled with
Expendable Lite, and Moto Racer 2, for those
who wantto take advantage of the card's gaming abilities. The All-In-Wonder 128 also
comes with ATI's DVD software, which gets a
hardware assist from the card itself for optimal

The thing to know about >cud dnve space is

that thme's never enough when you start to
captum video. If you don't want to go
through the hassle of opening up the PC to
add or replace a haul drive, there are a few
exte
rnal ophons available. For those who
use one of the DV mfiring solubons that
make use of the FireWlre po/t, LaCie's external Fimvdire hwd drive is just the answer. It
plugs Into any avagable IEEE1394 port, and
after drivere are installed, it's ready to go. At
the time of wrigng drivers are only available
for the Mac (maMng it a pwfect addi5on to
an iMac DV symem), hut by the time you
Nmd this PCdrivers should aho be availabfe.

We looked at a 20 68 modal (a 37 GB vernon is also available), attached to the iMac
DV. Inslagatlon was easy. and thnwghput
was excegsnt. AMmugh it's mmu expensive

than internal drives, it's an Invaluable addition to a well-used i Mac DV. And because it' s
external, it's simple to pick it up and plug il

into another iMae DV Io a muM-computer
envln>nmant.
The LSCie FireW/re drive has a thme-year

With auto-backup, and 99 undo levels, there is very litic

chanceyou'6 losework or sleep. The capture program includes
sophisticated colour adjustment tools, emulating the hardware
devices that video technicians use to calibrate tapes recorded on
location or at other studios. Unless you have a camera or other
source that generates colour bars for your recordings, unfortunately this won't be much use.
The video editor's timeline display takes the whole screen, with
Boating palettes, toolbars, scratch pad, trim and preview windows providing access to specific featurm and functions. Like
Premiere, it takes some gening used to. The scratch pad's jog and
shuttle controller emulates its real-world equivalent nicely. The
ability to scrubwould be even nicer.

Video Editor includes a wide range of 2D and 3D transitions to use between scenes. There are lots of controls to
ZMZMZiSsriawizzr &BSMMMtgisw
make tine adjustments to the transitions, and like Premiere,
you can preview the transition with the actual images. MediaShxfkysvideoaiiads library iaciadss avanietyof waysta traasiarm yourvideo. Each
Another series of effects, called motion paths, superimpose hasmaisbiecmtiai samagsta customizethe agael
one clip over another. An experienced Premiere editor could
likely recreate the advanced effects, like cylinder and sphere,
that you can simply select from the Media Studio menu in
this program. You can create up to 99 tracks to superimpose
more clips, although audio and video tracks can't be added
independently. There are filters for both video and audio
effects.
Like Premiere, you must pre-render a scene to be able to prev
view it. Unlike Premiere, you can set a specific quality indudMMiwvup
ing frame rate and size for the previews. This can cut down the
I
time you spend waiting for previews. To further speed up your
M taniw
work, the editor can create "proxy filesy These are smaller (with
wwwr
reduced colour and kame rate) versions of your original apgwwwe
tures that are used to preview. When you create your final movie,
MMwwus
the original ffies are used.
The editor's text module is a pleasure to use. Full frame and

Also noted
I did look at two other applications as a part of this review.
Avid Cinema ($125) provides a great deal of guidance to
beginning producers. An entire module is devoted to developing a storyboard, which you can use to plan a movie before
you start shooting. The manual is filled with good beginner
information, such as how to connect camcorders to computers.
Cinema looks very attractive onscrmn, but can't trim accurately and other than a good list of transitions, there's not much
you can do effects-wise. The title editor is very basic and there arc
only three audio tracks. Avid is working on a new version, or a
whole new application, that should appear within the next few
months. Considering that this company's professional products
have an excellent reputation, 1t'shope it does a better job for
consumers next time out.

Mgdd:mailand massaging
While workingforBell in the late '60s andagain
in the early '70s, I can remember trying to
bypasswaiting for the mail cart that came in the
morning
andafternoon.Workingatthespeedof
the mail mrt delivery system could be most vexing. Thus, it came as no surprise that the most
popular service on the computer time-sharing
system was IBM's venerable and caatankerous
email and scheduling system, PROFS.
Despite its eccentricitiis, PROFSeven beat the
telephone becauseonecould not only deliver the
6nished work (usuafiy in some 6les, or posted,
printed output) but alsosupply a quick explanatory message. There was no need to engage in
telephone tag,and there was also a record of
exactly when the work wassent for delivery.
The verexpanding email service hasbeen a
key driverfor the aceptance of PC LANs
(cheaper internal email, plus shared file/program services), and then the Web ( fee external
email connetions to dients, customers, suppliers, etc.). The current technical drivers in
the massaging arena are convergence to
Internet Protocol (IP) and specialized packet
deli
very ofa broad range of media text/data,
audio, video, telephone, voice, and othersover the same wire. Thus it is worthwhile to
pro6le what the state of the art is in MgtM

m ajor
ve n dors' off erings: Lo t us
Notes/Domino RS, Microsoft Exchange 5.5,
and Novdl Groupwise 5.5.
Table I lists those features and some distinctive offerings from each mail massaging vendor.We could also easily have included software firom Netscape, Sendmail and half a
dozen others, but have focused on the Big
Three for thc sake of simplicity.
If we follow trends in the massaging arena
shown on Table I, three stand out. First, messaging has constantly cast the net wider. Early
services werc proprietary and could not talk to
each other. Now it is almost a requirement that
a mail scrvicc not only supports Internet mail
but talks to a wide range of other massaging
services. In that respect, Novell leads the way
with a universal inbox that accepts faxes, voice
mail, and pager notes, along with traditional
and Internet emaiL The Net has also had a
democratizing effect: Internet email is so cheap
(it's free with browser sofiware and Net access)
that it is also used as the internal massaging
service for many smaU- to medium-sized businesses. The same phenomenon may now be
occurring in groupware and teamwork.
The second trend, led by Lotus, is the
increasing customization and programmability of both the interface and the services offered
in an M&M system. From the outset, Notes has
been adocument database,w ith either usersor
experts adding sorting, searching, reconciling,
and other features in effeob developing
applications around Notes' M&M services.
Microsoft, with its Outlook client, set a high
standard for default services induding contacts, calendaring, and scheduling that the
other vendors have had to fallow. Now lotus is
upping the ante by making Notes an Internet
browser dient through its embedded Domino
server. This means, with the addition of Mobile
Notes, that Notes applications can run on any
device that operates browser, induding person-
al digital assistants, such as cegphones and

Palm or other handheldcom
putingdevices.
Groupware and collaboration services have
also been pioneered by Lotus Notes, including
such team features as discussion groups,
shared files/documents, replication and reconciliation for semi-attached road warriors, like
sale reps and other mobile field agents. The e
group collaboration features mark the third
trend, and are fast becoming the norm. In fact,
the ompetition on the Net is so 6erce that
Lotushas had to produce a specially configured Domino engine, called QuickPlace, to
compete in that rapidly evolving market.
Teamworkand cogaboration extend beyond
shared notes, calendars and schedules. AB the
vendors, led by Microsoft and Lotus, have
made it simpler to collaborate directly on documents (or versions of documents) including
spreadsheets,databases, presentations, and
text files. The next step, automated workfiow
and messaging, is already provided for.

However this gets into the complex realm of
team problem solving, such as creative design,
insurance claim adjustment, or product warraniy and support services. Here the situations
are more fluid and/or complex.
Finally massaging is exploding in two areas.
The first is the live, direct contact of chat and
video meeting services. AO L I n stant
Massaging, Micmsoft Net Meeting, ICQ Chat,
and Lotus SameTime are examples of the
diverseservices available.The second area of
innovation is software agentscomputer programs that act as agents For teams or individuals, searching the Net for information. making
bids under set pre-conditions, or offering
trades, etc. Financial markets have been using
such agents for years, but now the Net has
broadened the scope of this technology.
Products,like Hewlett-Packard's eSpeak, are
making intelligent agents part of teamwork
and collaboration solutions.
KM: knowledge management

My 6rst job was on the other side of the mail
cart, taking documents to be 6led in arhives
or sentto the micrographics department for
photo reduction and storage on fiche. We had
a lot of colourful namesfor our Sing area: the

Sepulcher, the Catacombs, and the King's Mail
End in honor of Bvis Presley's "Return To
Sender." To our surprise, Presley's refrain could
dominate some of our days. as outgoing
requests would easily outnumber incoming
documents, especiafiy around the time of government hearings. or planning and budgeting.
Even today, people tend to underestimate
the value of good document and knowledge
management. But in many cases.with mergers,
acquisitions, and re-engineering layolfs, KM
systems are the last resort for
rganizational decision context and history.
But of course, KM is much more than a
bomb shelter against system disaster or merger and acquisition madness. KM has slowly
evolved into a wider set of roles from its document management origins. Search and
retri
eval from archives has been a staplof
document management. The plunging costs of
hardware and more sophisticated software

(especiafiy databaseand indexing technology)

have brought more documents and fdes out of
cabinets and microfiche and into online storage. It has abo brought wondrous increasesin
functionality, as shown in Table 2.
As one might imagine with such a rich set of
services, it has become a daunting task to
define exactly what KM is; or more pointedly,

assured Unux 2.4 will be one of the fitvt operating systemsavailable for the new chip. Intel itself
has been using Linux for testing the processor,

familiar with the 64-bit architectures of the
Compaq Alpha and SunSparc64 processors.
And, of course, Linux will be supported by
the new Crusoe chipset from Transmeta. After

and the third edition of Running Linus lives
up to its predecessor's reputations. This

to setting up, running and maintaining a Unuxbassd system, it is hard to go wrong with this
book. It wgl get the beginning user on the road
to becoming a power Unux user, and includes
informsgon that will prove useful long after

More DSL offerings for Canadians

TORONTOSan Francisco, Calif.-based
NorthPoint CommunicaEons GrouP Inc.
(htlpi/www.scrlhpoinLnsyj is teaming up with
Canadian telecommunications company CallNst Enterprises Inc. (htlp:/Rnnv.csllnst.cs/) to provide wholesale digital subscriber line (DSL)
services across Canada.
Cat-Nst is one of Canada's lwgest compeSbve local exchange carriers (CLECs) and
already has equipment instated in 90 telephone company central olSces gocal switching
centres) in t8 major markets.
The two companies said they would be
able to take advantage of CaE-Nel's existing
relationships with Canadian businesses and

its 16,000-mile backbone network across
ths country to move quickly in providing the
DSL capability, which permits high-speed
data access over existing copper telephone
lines without interfering with voice conversa'bons.

Speed to market created the OSL leaders

in the U.S. and it will also be the com
petitive
diffemnSator in Canada," said Michael Malaga,
NorthPoint's chairman and chief executive officer. "By parlnering with Cag-Net, NorthPoint is
strategically aligned with a leader in the
Canadian telecommunications market with the
network assets and customers that will enable
us to establish the nation's largest broadband
footprint by the end of the year."
Cag-Net's Sprint Canada subsidiary boasts
that it already reaches some 25 pement of
small- to medium-sized businesses in Canada
with its long-distance telephone
services.
Sprint Canada also has some 186,000 Internet
customers, most of whom use its dial-up senrices. In January, the Sprint unit announced a
reorganization to position itself as a provider
of Internet protocol (IP) networking services
with a business-to-business focus.
"DSL is an important component of CallNet'snew data and IP-based focus," said
Kevin Bsnnis, Cag-Net's pmsident and chief
executive ofgcer. "This joint venture with
NorthPoint will also provide Cat-Nst with the
high-speedbackbone we need to supportthe
e-business applicaliona we' ll be offering to
customers, through... Sprint Canada."

NorlhPoint is one of several U.S. companies

hoping to deliver DSL services across
Canadian networks. On the same day in midFebruary that NorlhPoint and Cat-Net
released details of their DSL plans, the
Canadian arm of U.S. parent PSINet Inc.,
PSINet Ltd. (hSpy/www.psLca/), announced the
roll out of OSL services for businesses in
Tomnto, Montreal, and Ottawa, and plans to
expand to other major Canadian cities by the
end of 2000.
The PSINst DSL service wgl allow for maximum download speeds of 2.2 Mbps and maxim um uploadspeeds of 640Kbps. PSINet said
it is relying on technology from Alcatel. The
service will run over Bell Canada's local loops
using DSL facilities provided by Sell, linking to
PSINet's own backbone facilities, said Bryan
Boyd, vice-president of PSINet In Canada.
Bell Canada, the incumbent telephone carriersewing Ontario and Ouebec, ouers DSL
service to businesses and consumers in major
centres in those provinces, snd most incumbent carriers in other parts of Canada also
pmvide DSL service.
Late in 1999, the Canadian Radio-television
and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
told the incumbent caniars they must make
their facilities available to Internet service
pmviders 0SPs) at reasonable rates so ths
ISPs can oNer their own DSL services. The ruling foEowed a months-long battle between a
group of ISPs snd Beg Canada over the terms
on which ISPs could use Ssg's facilities for
DSL sewice.
Boyd said PSINet's service will cost 8499
monthly, plus a one-time 6999 installation fee.

almost a third of the book. The mst is devoted

to showing how you can make this new OS
work for you.Subsequent Chapters are devoted to such topics as setting up s local network,
getting connected to the Interret, setting up ftp
and Wsb servers, using ward processing applications, and even finding and playing Linuxbased games.
As with ag introductory books, one wishes

this book offered mora detail on celtain top-
ics. In several places, Learning Red Hst

Unux consists largely of step-by-step
instructions and not enough background
m ateri
al.Once you are up and running, you
will definitely want to learn more about this
OS, and for that ycu will need to buy another
book. However, this book does exactly what
it sets out to do: get the Linux novice user up
and running useful applications quickly. If
you are looking for a gentle introduction to
Unux, Learning RedHat Lfnux is well worth

checking out. 9

Follow the money

The moment you begin to watch your expenditures, you begin to change. The minute that you
seeyour various bank chmges fmm your verious banks totaled and subtracted from your
aller-tax income, reality kicks in snd the spending brakes get s tentative press.
In criminal police work, govsmmenlal audits,
and personal Snsnces you only have to follow
themoney to fi
nd the answers.
E A!fg
in M
ffg flg
ment, um final piece of the puzde is in place.

You can now go online snd within e minute have
your monNy account statement imported into

your Onanciel software program. That is. once
you' ve done the iniTial setup, which might be
simple. difficult, or Imposm'bmwithout changing

financial insgkaions.
At the time of wrmng, mmeumn21 financia
I sukNians allowed users to downkmd account
dale fm their personal tinsnce softwme. Only
about halfa dozen support Money, wtile most
support Quicken. However, this mlstively new
festwe of pwsonal Snancial management is

taking olf and Is being offemd by more and
mom insbtutions sfi the time. Without it, your
financial software is very useful. With it. your
software is a godsend.

Wearabte PCsto power up with water

FAIRFAx. virg.~ new inmative from Fairfax-based xybemaut corp. (http:ltnww.aybernnuccum)and DCH Techrelogy Inc.may seethewearablecomputersproduced by
Xybemsut being parkafiy powered in the futum by water.
Xybernaut and Valencia, Calif.-based DCH said they would jointly develop a wearable
PC that would run on hydrogen-fuel cells. Recharging those cells would simply require
filling them with water, according to Xybemaut director of owporate communications,
Rabin Bore.
Cunently, a single lithium-ian battery csn power Xybemaut's wearable computer for
three to six bourn, depending on the spplicatians used, Bono said. A second battmy
can be swapped i~
hau t shaking down-for a total of about eight hours of power,
she said. However, the new tuel cells may run from t2 to 24 hours, Bono said, and
recharging them will be as easy as opening a water spigot. Bono said the announcement signifies just the first step in ue development pmcess.
Xybemaut's Mobile Assistant IMA) IV contains a fully functianal Intel Pentium MMX
pmcenaor, and either a fufi-colour natrisanel display or a Xyberi/iew head-mounted display that can be equipped with an opuonal video camera. Other necessaries and software are also available. The MA IV can run Windows 98, NT 4.0 and Red Hat/Unux.
Pricing for the MA IV with a flat-panel display starts at US84,995, while head-mounted
display systems start at US85,489. The systems are available direct from Xybernaut.

Microsoft protects children's privacy

Mimasoft has launched Micrasoft Kids Passport, a new smvtce designed to help panmts

disdose personal information hom childen. Passpoits are unique to the individual childnm, allowing parents to make consent decisions apponpriate for each child. Participating
sites either secure psnmtal consent or testrim Kids Passport members fram using senrices such as newsletters, chat rooms, and pen pal programs in which childen might provkle personal data.
The senrice is aulomaticafiy available to Web sites uet sign up to use the Micmsoft
