I would require to know how to use your program with IOSC (or ICIC? See

discussion on Cisco's IOS below). What would the the interface? A

DLL-like? A file? A registry entry?

The problem was in the fact that they own the name IOS (registered

trademark). We could encounter legal problems if we even include it in

the name of our software. I suggest ICI for Internet Computer

Intigration.



We should change the name as soon as possible, to minimize the chance of

having "IOS" inprinted into any programs.
