Terry, I am most thrill to offer you an account on my system !!

	What would you like as a user name ?

	My motherboard is an ASUS P55TP4XE with P100.

Sorry to peck you down Terry is just that Sujal is pretty far along on
his PnP stuff and we are lacking way , way behind on this PnP support.

So if you can help and I believe that you can it will be fantastic!

	Best Regards,
	Amancio
