It turns out Packet Engines is now a part of my company. Plus, I need some for GigE testing here at work. Now that we're all one big happy family I should be able to transfer a few over here in the next month or so. They won't make it in time for 3.2, but I hope to have something working for 3.3. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
