The founders of XKL are *the founders* Of 'cisco
Systems (as it was originally
spelt). ?The original 'cisco business plan was to build a PDP-10 clone,
codenamed "TOAD" (for "Ten On A Desk"); the router thing was a small
sideline
that provided a positive cash flow. ?The VC Board of Directors changed the
company's focus a bit. ?The founders left.
One might say that was one of the best business moves ever in the
history of computing.
