Powered by Sun Microsystems hardware and the UNIX operating system, I-Gear allows Internet access to be delivered to an entire network of computers with the low cost of one dial-up ISP account. I-Gear features include:

The second partnership is with Pierian Spring Software. Their product, Digitial Chisel 3, is an authoring tool for K-12. Digital Chisel 3 is the first all-in-one authoring tool designed especially to meet the needs of education. Because both the look of the program and its functionality can be customized for different ages and skill levels, students from 2nd grade to graduate school will find Digital Chisel 3 intuitive and easy to use. The exciting thing is they are developing this product as 100% pure Java. A beta copy can be downloaded from their website at www2.pierian.com/dc3/dc3main.htm.
