If the NS chip works, I'm all for it... like Chris, I got a bit scared at the "sis" listing in dmesg. Doubts out of the way, I'm very eager to see what Soren makes, and hope that people can get together enough volume. :-) Eddy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brotsman & Dreger, Inc.
