I haven't looked into the prices for the software development kit. There are already people in both BSDI and FreeBSD moving on this. There will probably be licencing issues for STAC compression though. I still think it is worth following up on. If you look at the per B channel cost of a ASCEND MAX or Cisco 5200 UAS you can easily understand the excitement this card can generate. -mh On Wed, 22 May 1996, Louis A.
