Any software with pretensions of being an enterprise portal is likely to be far too big for our rather modest requirements. You end up spending most of your time trying to remove stuff rather than adding it. @Antonio – whenever I see anything with portal written over it I tend to run a mile.

T_T nevermind about Plone, with CPS then same thing.. it's the guys at Google that are using Python, and they're doing pretty well :) Again, why not Liferay? Oh, ok, i’m blind.. T_T

Again, why not Liferay?

And why was Plone erased.. perhaps you should review CPS (Collaborative Portal Server) instead of Plone (python + zope also). On the Enterprise Content Management area, take a look at Nuxeo 5, it's just amazing. Really. And it has a Web Engine that I haven't reviewed yet.. So.. why is Liferay not on the list?

He's had quite a few startups under his belt. Gandalf had a similar sounding product for a while - it was a custom 19" PC chassis with lots of ISA slots. In each slot you installed a full height ISA card PC that ran the client end of Novell Netware. It presented a VT100 serial port out the back so you could use PC apps (123 etc) and get file and print services from the network without needing a PC. It was great for long distances where LANs couldn't go at the time - you could run the comms over line drivers. 9600bps was fine then and 19.2K was really quick ;-) Yes I knew/know Bob reasonably well.

KNX was Mike O'Neill who sold out to Global Village (a maker of Macintosh modems) who sold out to Mitel. I used to do the Windows NT device drivers for the horrifically complex full height PC boards (essentially a full PC on a card). Bob Jones was Sonnix sold out to 3Com if memory serves.

It wasn't Bob Jones was it? When I first started it was Case who were our main competitors. The Case DCX vs the Gandalf PACX - Ahhhh those are names I haven't lingered over for some time...

I used to work for KNX who also did a lot of ISDN just like Gandalf. In fact, Gandalf got bought by Mitel a month or so later than we did! I also worked for one of the first computer comms companies: Network Designers :) Hiss! I used to work for KNX who also did a lot of ISDN just like Gandalf.

Right after I started my first proper job. I had finished a 4 year electronic engineering apprenticeship (remember them? Great idea apprenticeships) in '85 and has started in field service at one of the first computer communications companies: Gandalf. That’s about the same time.
