Bear with me and allow me my delusions while I daydream... What with FPGA technology as reasonable as it is, and the amount of hw/sw talent on these lists, maybe people should band together and come up with a NIC? Maybe have native mode + Tulip/PNIC clone compatibility mode. Take a look at www.opencores.org for a start. What production volumes are required before ASICs are feasible? What about having a FreeBSD CDROM + NIC bundle featuring whatever card gets designed? If ya can't join 'em, beat 'em. Okay. Back to work and reality. :-) Eddy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brotsman & Dreger, Inc.
