Good price.  The NEC is available from Tiger Direct (+1-800-888-4437) for
ten bucks more, with a longer warranty (quantities are probably limited).
Fedex overnight is 6.99.

I've had good luck with NEC products, so that's what I'm gonna get.

Are the patches in question applicable to 2.1-RELEASE?  If so, where might
I find them?  I'm net-impaired for a few days (the net weenies broke our
firewall) so I'd appreciate it if someone could mail me the patches.
