This will be the primary view to
give you a quick snapshot of vendor to vendor comparison in features and abilities.
It is my attempt to ensure that every effort is made to assure this is accurate.
Be advised this page will extend beyond the 1024x768 view due to content.
More to follow....... This comparison chart will be in a constant state of flux
over the next two weeks. If you see something obvious or extremely incorrect your
input is kindly appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback: 2002-09-10; This page will be broken up into categories
to allow easier viewing and a spread sheet will be made available for download with
description of the column and row definitions. Some of the capabilites listed require
support via applications, tools and utilities.
