Internet Service Provider (ISP) Netcom on Tuesday joined a Network Solutions program that will allow the ISP to sell domain name registration services.
In exchange, Network Solutions will establish a link to Netcom on its development pages, helping advertise Netcom's Web hosting and dial-up Internet access services.
"Our alliance with Network Solutions makes it easy for businesses to consider all their Web needs quickly and conveniently," said Michael Greenbaum, Netcom's senior vice president in a statement.
"Whether they're exploring a Web site package or a Web address registration, the services are a click away through links on our respective Web sites."
Sybase Goes Linux: Sybase will join database brethren Oracle and Informix and offer a version of its popular SQL Anywhere database for the Linux open-source operating system, the company said Tuesday.
Sybase builds a server version of SQL Anywhere software but also provides a small "footprint" version that can run on hand-held computers and laptops.
The Linux version of SQL Anywhere will be available sometime in the first quarter of 1999, the company said.
Informix said it would build a Linux version of some of its database products in July, 1998. Oracle followed in October, 1998.
