I'm
guessing Proteon was an independent company until DEC bought
them at some point?
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.
