They seem to have dropped the price -- only 300 bucks now [cf. the $500 that Nate paid :-( ] Random idea time: members of the PCMCIA cabal get the same thing for $50. Would we be violating anyone's licence if someone in one of the member companies bought a couple of copies (with FreeBSD cash) and then 'donated' them back to the project? Too much trouble to save a couple hundred bucks? I'd try this with my contacts at Xircom, but I think I should wait until I've signed the licence and got the specs for their own cards before seeing how far I can push this relationship :) Scott -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID |"If I can't have my coffee, I'm just | 0x54B171B9 | like a dried up piece of roast goat" QMW College, London, UK | 0xAA775B8B | -- J.
