A quick look at a handy PhoneNet connector reveals the notation "Patent Pending". This is indeed notice to all that a patent application is in the works and to beware. The clone makers undertook development at their own risk. Because of the backlog at the US Patent & Trademark Office, the timing was most probably not of Farallon's doing. Incidentally, whem it came out, Farallon's pricing (and technical capability of the equipment) was a substantial improvement over Apple's cabling scheme. -- Doug Farrow - via FidoNet node 1:282/33 UUCP: ...!uunet!imagery!22.12!Doug.Farrow ARPA: Doug.Farrow@p12.f22.n282.z1.FIDONET.ORG
