                            ABSTRACT

Assume Nirvana arrived tomorrow in the form of 10Mb/s Ethernet LAN service
between your home and work (and the Internet). Say the data is carried over
a cable television system so anyone can easily and quickly have service.
Folks are delighted: productivity and happiness soar.

We've had such service since the start of 1995. The experience is outstanding
and also makes the system and network gurus' jobs a lot more "interesting."
Such large distributed systems create problems from three basic sources:

  The number of points of failure skyrockets
  The exposure of your LANs to outside hackers explodes
  Users develop new services.

Systems Management is evolving from a local job into a global career. This
talk outlines the problems we've seen and expect and hints at possible
solutions.

Finally, the use of a "Mobile Remote Telepresence" is demonstrated
in the form of a model car that can be driven around Murray Hill over
the Internet. The perfect way to meet people at work when telecommuting.
