The commonest example is the use by a company of one or more World-Wide Web servers on an internal TCP/IP network for distribution of information within the company. Since about 1995, intranets have become a major growth area in corporate computing due to the availability of cheap or free commercial browser and web server software which allows them to provide a simple, uniform hypertext interface to many kinds of information and application programs. Some companies give limited access to their intranets to other companies or the general public. This is known as an "{extranet". extranet The extension of a company's intranet out onto the Internet, e.g. to allow selected customers, suppliers and mobile workers to access the company's private data and applications via the World-Wide Web. This is in contrast to, and usually in addition to, the company's public web site which is accessible to everyone. The difference can be somewhat blurred but generally an extranet implies real-time access through a firewall of some kind. Such facilities require very careful attention to security but are becoming an increasingly important means of delivering services and communicating efficiently. ----- Original Message ----- From: ]\\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[ To: Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 3:30 AM Subject: Re: just wondering(ncr) > *Note* Some people now have the option to receive e-mail via cell phone > and/or voice-pager service, giving the ability to actually call in your > replies... not saying that anyone here uses that option, but it is something > to keep in mind before making a broad statement about everyone having > Internet and being online (imagine browsing a website on that little screen > that comes with the digital phones... ick) > -NightStorm (God damn line limits, make me take away the nice flashy > colorful text... grr) > > < INSERT MASSIVE POST ABOUT WHAT INTERNET IS HERE > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Keith P.
