It was in Data Communications magazine ;-) The switch maker is Berkeley Systems. They licensed NT source and stripped it down (I think the IP stack is one of the things they whacked ;-) to run the switch. With the obvious exception of M$ RRAS, this is AFAIK is the only vendor using NT as a switch or router OS.

This time around I am seeking opinions on behalf of a friend up at Wired (the print magazine) -- concerning embedded NT. I couldn't find any discussion in the nanog archive, so I'm wondering if anoyne here has any experience with, or knowledge of, embedding NT in networking hardware - if that even makes any sense....?
From: Jesse Freund <freund () wired com> i'm working on a piece about nt-embedded and i have a couple of
questions.
i'm hoping you might be able to hook me up with a smart network operator
or
someone else in the know or perhaps you know. basically, i'm curious
why
the hell someone would want a version of nt embedded in a switch or
router?
and who provides the custom solutions nt-embedded is meant to replace?
