“Anticipating the growing demand for high bandwidth Internet
platforms for the home, NetBox has responded by creating the first
Linux-OS-based interactive set-top box that will use cable for
connectivity. The result is a high-speed platform with an unusually
high level of stability, power, and responsiveness that is the
perfect complement to NetGem’s growing range of products…”

“NetGem’s innovative technology, coupled with the NetBox’s new
Linux-based OS, bring greater power, stability and flexibility to
Europe’s leading interactive set-top box, creating new standards in
ease of use and functionality for Internet browsing, voice and text
e-mail, and secure “smart card” home banking and e-commerce.”
