The Ned Lamont featured in the article is the same Ned Lamont that ran for Senate in Connecticut in 2006 (beating Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary).

Do note that the article is from 1996 - perhaps a "[1996]" in the title would be appropriate?

I wonder if any of those installations are still in use in the era of ubiquitous Internet?
