Are you aware that there is already a Coconet software package.  It runs under
Xenix/Unix, and from what I remember uses pretty much standard networking
hardware, = ethernet comes to mind.  It is designed to inteface Unix/Xenix
networks into Novel, Banyan, etc.

They are in Coconut Grove, FL, therefore the name.

Which of you came first?

COCONET came first and the name COCONET is a registered trademark
of our company, Coconut Computing, Inc.  We are aware of the company
from Florida that is using our trademark without authorization and
have an attorney working on the case now.
