Compaq Computer announced that it will
license easy-to-use home networking technology from Tut Systems for inclusion in the
company's products. Tut makes technology that allows computer users to set
up a network using existing phone lines in their home. Compaq would not
disclose the specific products that will include Tut's technology, but it
will likely find its way into the company's PCs. Separately, Compaq
licensed Java-based application server technology from Novera.
