Tom,

This may be a case of the sardine swallowing the whale. I remember using
Attachmate's Reflextion X about ten years ago to connect to Unix boxes
from a Windows PC. There are a LOT of large enterprises using NetIQ
management system.

Following the acquisition, the Novell and SUSE lines will be split
apart. Steve thinks the Novell part will be allowed to die. I agree. The
SUSE part may become the integration platform for the rest of their
products.
