Epilogue Technology Corporation
What we're about
Epilogue produces and licenses highly portable implementations of IP,
UDP, TCP, SNMP, and the RMON MIB. The implementations are written in
ANSI C and all interactions with the operating system or hardware
operate through well defined interfaces.

products, follow the link.
Where we come from
Epilogue was formed in 1986 by Karl and Karen
Auerbach. It was a consulting business with expertise in networking
and the Internet protocols. John Romkey joined
Epilogue around July 1988. When Epilogue saw several requests for
consulting work with SNMP, Karl wrote an SNMP implementation we could
sell along with our consulting service and John wrote a MIB compiler
to make adding MIBs to the SNMP agent easier.
In 1990 Karl left Epilogue for other paths, forming Empirical Tools
and Technologies followed by CaveBear.
Epilogue changed its path too, leaving the consulting business and
selling its code as products instead. We already had the SNMP and we
added an IP stack. While this stack was targeted initially as a
transport layer for the SNMP in embedded systems it also has TCP and
IP routing capabilites and is a useful product separately from the
SNMP.
John Romkey left Epilogue in May 1992, forming ELF Communications to focus
more on networking applications, building uses for the network rather
than building the network itself.
Epilogue continues development of the
SNMP adding version 2 of SNMP and sub-agent support, the IP stack adding further routing
and TCP functionality, the MIB compiler with SNMP version 2
support, and adding new products such as a portable RMON
implementation.
Where we are now
We're all over the place. One of the big promises of the Internet is
the possibly of working in a distributed manner, telecommuting for
instance. Epilogue is using internet technology to build a
distributed company. We have offices in New Mexico, Massachusetts,
California, and Maine. You say, "Big deal. Lots of companies do
that". The difference is that networking allows this flexibility to
much smaller companies than ever before. It's no longer necessary
that each office be large enough to justify an entire support staff.
Networking allows people to live and work from anywhere there's
communications. Well, we're working in that direction anyway.
