	Leonard Bosack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leonard Bosack is, with his ex-wife Sandra Lerner, co-founder of Cisco Systems.
		In 1979, Bosack left DEC for Stanford University, where he obtained a master’s degree in computer science in 1981.
		Bosack and his group took the original router code, enhanced the design, and capitalized on it, creating the first commercially successful router.

	Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - Bosack, Leonard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		After graduating from college in 1973, Bosack worked at DEC (Digital Equipment Corp.), where he was involved in projects relating to 36-bit systems.
		The inability of Bosack and Lerner’s two computers to communicate directly would be the genesis for what would become a multibillion-dollar industry.
		Bosack, who managed the computer science department’s computers, and Lerner, who managed the computer system for the Graduate School of Business, worked at opposite ends of Stanford University campus.

	A start-up's true tale (12/01/2001)
		Despite Stanford's ``no,'' by late 1985 Bosack and his wife, Lerner, were assembling routers in their living room in Atherton.
		Bosack denied doing anything wrong, Earnest said, but by that May, he had ``enough evidence of misconduct'' to go to the dean's office.
		But Cisco had to come to terms with Stanford, because Bosack, Lougheed and the others had worked on the router as Stanford employees; at least some of their work did belong to the university.

	Wellspring of Innovation: Spotlight on Cisco Systems
		Bosack was Director of Computer Facilities for Stanford's Department of Computer Science, and Lerner was Director of Computer Facilities for Stanford's Graduate School of Business.
		Cisco was formed to commercialize the technology developed at Stanford in the late 1970's to support the campus-wide network called SUNet (Stanford University Network), and to integrate a multiplicity of local networks into a single integrated whole.
		They (Bosack and Lerner) were in the right place at the right time.

		Perhaps the most spectacular corporate success story of the last decade was conceived by Leonard Bosack and Sandra Lerner, students at Stanford University in the mid-1980s.
		Leonard was studying computer science and Sandra was in the business school, and they were in love.
		For this reason, it was not surprising that the LAN in the business school at Stanford was not compatible with the LAN in the computer science department.

		Cisco (name inspired by nearby San Francisco) was founded in 1984 by Stanford graduate students Sandra Lerner and Leonard Bosack.
		Lerner and Bosack founded Cisco when Stanford declined to support their work (developing routers to enable incompatible computers and networks to be linked together into one large system).
		Also in 1990, founders Lerner and Bosack left Cisco over irresolvable differences with the management installed as part of the Sequoia deal.

		Twelve years ago the Leonard X. Bosack and Bette M. Kruger Foundation concerned about the inability of shelters to efficiently track lost pets and/or share information on adoptable animals -- initiated what was then known as the PetNet Project.
		The goal of this project, which eventually resulted in the development of PetWhere software, was to help shelters return more lost pets to their owners and find more homes for shelter animals by computerizing operations, as well as by using wide area networks to share information with each other and potential pet owners.
		As a result of this assessment, the Bosack and Kruger Foundation has decided that the Foundation’s investment of charitable funds in the development of traditional shelter management software is no longer necessary or even advisable.

	Cisco 827
		While Cisco was not the first company to develop and sell a router (a device that forwards computer traffic from one network to another), it did create the first commercially successful multi-protocol router to allow previously incompatible computers to communicate using different network protocols.
		With Leonard Bosack, she founded Cisco Systems (1996 revenues: $5.4 billion), one of Silicon Valley's biggest success stories.
		They created the first commercially successful router, a device that enables once-incompatible computers in far-off computer networks to communicate.

		Developer Bosack and business manager Lerner sold their first router in 1986.
		But just a few years later, both Bosack and Lerner were out of the company, disagreeing with new management brought in by investors to overcome the founders' lack of business, marketing and fundraising experience.

		“Cisco Systems was founded by Stanford University husband-and-wife team Leonard Bosack and Sandra Lerner and three colleagues in 1984.
