Actually, getting the spec from XIRCOM wasn't that bad - they just have you sign an Intellectual Property license agreement (it is not a typical NDA) for the spec which allows you to anything with the work you derive from the spec - i.e. give your source code driver away or whatever - it only prohits you from sharing the spec or expecting more support from XIRCOM. The person to contact at Xircom is John DiGiovanni Sr. Product Manager 805-376-6844 Voice 805-375-8191 Fax John_DiGiovanni@xircom.com and ask for the IP License for the Dingo Spec which is the ethernet core for the CE3B-100BTX card. The core also has the hooks for the second function part which in this case is the 56Kflex modem. Bill Rainey
