Anyone knows something about this? there can be two meanings of supported.. a) it will work with the equipment listed, or b) we will make it work with the equipment listed... I'm pretty sure they are talking about b... they won't help you get your unix machine talking, but it you do, good for you... :) > Of course I said I wasn't interested, Internet without Unix is a > nonsense! But if the end-point is Ethernet, it should work. hope this helps... ttyl.. -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
