In the early 1980's, Len Sandy Bosack, a married couple who worked

in different computer departments at Stanford University, were

having trouble getting their individual systems to communicate. So,

in their living room they created a gateway server that made it

easier for their separate computers in two different departments

to communicate using the IP protocols.In 1984, they founded cisco

systems.

The first product the company marketed was called the Advanced

Gateway Server (AGS). later Mid-Range Gateway Server (MSG), the

Compact Gateway Server (CGS), the Integrated Gateway Server

(IGS) and the AGS+.
