Did DEC ever buy Proteon? I was with DEC's network group
(NAC) >when we
bought the rights to the Proteon code base
(or at least >some of it).
That's how I remember it too. I was involved in that
handoff at the time.
I may have left before it came to fruition, but I don't
remember that anything ever came of this. In other words,
DEC paid Proteon $1M or so, got a pile of source code, and
nothing was done with it.
