Sheldon,

	Thanks again for your speedy response.

	Here is a brief describtion of our nFast PCI product:

nCipher nFast PCI - hardware cryptographic accelerator with optional key
management.


	Is that the correct sort of description?

	Both the driver name and the device node basename are 'nfp' at
present.  (from 'NFast Pci', we also have a SCSI version for which we
use the generic SCSI driver)

	If a support reference or a general reference is needed, could you
please use the email address 'support@ncipher.com' or the url
<http://www.ncipher.com>; whichever is most appropraite.

	thanks,

-john
