Just picked up the December issue of WIRED(2.12), they have something on page
197:

"A Tennnn Hut"

Yeah, it's a gimmick. But if you're a hacker who happens to live around Santa
Cruz, California, you can now order pizza via the Internet.  Pizza Hut is now
locally testing its _PizzaNet_ system, and, if all goes well, the company
plans to expand the service nationwide.  PizzaNet was created with the aid
of SCO, a Unix systems provider that helped Pizza Hut integrate its existing
comm system with Global Access - SCO's Mosaic implementation.  [I see also
something on http://www.sco.com/ -jamie]  The PizzaNet welcome page asks you
for your name, address, and phone number.  The subsequent pages give you
product information and take your order.  The order is automatically trans-
mitted to the Pizza Hut nearest you (where they'll probably still use some
teenager's VW for low-tech, analog delivery). Sorry, no e-cash accepted.
(Yet.)  To order a pizza, surf to http://www.pizzahut.com.  To send your
comments, e-mail webmaster@pizzahut.com.

The thing that gets me is this:

Pizza Hut, Inc. (NETBLK-PHINETS)
   World Headquarters

   Wichita, KS  67207

   Netname: PHINETS
   Netblock: 192.112.151.0 - 192.112.178.0



*Twenty-Eight* Class C Blocks??

Are they going to wire every pizza hut in the US?
