I was reading so old articles on different wireless protection system and ran across a company called Roving Planet. However if I try to go to their website it redirects to Tipping Point. I cannot find anything on their web page that says they acquired Roving Planet etc.

Does anyone know anything about Roving Planet? Are they still in business etc??

Thanks.

hi boomer1, don't you just love marketing magic and acquisitions?

TippingPoint is a division of 3COM and TippingPoint acquired Roving Planet.
