Sorry, I didn't say that the TCP/IP packets would be encapsulated, I
mentioned "LocalTalk" packets. This is good for printing to an AppleTalk
compatible printer or accessing file from an AppleTalk compatible server.
Surfing the web implies a different protocol, and so a different kind of
packets...

Sorry about that...

-Laurent.

Borg n.: In "Star Trek: The Next Generation" the Borg is a species of cyborg
that ruthlessly seeks to incorporate all sentient life into itself; their
slogan is "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." In hacker
parlance, the Borg is usually Microsoft, which is thought to be trying just
as ruthlessly to assimilate all computers and the entire Internet to itself
(there is a widely circulated image of Bill Gates as a Borg). Being forced
to use Windows or NT is often referred to as being "Borged". Interestingly,
the Halloween Documents reveal that this jargon is live within Microsoft
itself. (Other companies, notably Intel and UUNet, have also occasionally
been equated to the Borg.) See also Evil Empire, Internet Exploiter.
