- But... "And, modem-only companies are not networking companies". I'm not sure this is entirely true. While at a full "geek level" definition it may be defendable, I think given any broader definition modems are indeed a form of networking. Maury 21:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- This is based on the current list of networking companies in that category. You don't see other modem-only companies like Hayes Microsystems such. Groink 03:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oh I know, but I think that's a problem. Unless there is some other cat for modem companies? Maury 14:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Here's one thought: Novation was actually a telecommunications equipment company. Hayes Microsystems, Kentronix, HyperEdge, and many other companies are also considered telecomm equipment companies. Telecomm and networking, from an engineering perspective, are different. For example, a router is a networking product. The CSU/DSU that connects the router to the telco is a telecomm product. That's basically the distinction I have in mind. With that, you could possibly throw Novation into Category:Telecommunications equipment vendors. Groink 00:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent suggestion! Maury 12:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taiga Drama
Thanks for the edits! I am still trying to import the list over, and it is proving to be a bit hard (with personal life and all). Thanks! Arbiteroftruth 09:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
