The Elea Intranet has local POP3, DNS, HTTP, NFS & firewall.
• In 1995 realized the WEB for the Vocational Formation Service of the Tuscany region and for private association San Giovanni di Dio.
• In 1995 participate to the realization of an experimental, local-multicast, IP multipoint videoconferencing system PC-based. The videoconferencing system was used for vocational course of the Tuscany Region.
• In 1995 experiment with CuSeeMe and MBONE videoconferencing.
• From 1995 participate to the Cypherpunks mailing list.
• From 1995 acquire theoretical knowledge on Intranet security and perform test on the corporate Intranet using S-HTTP and PD firewalls.
