I am just making the effort to work with Intel to get what we need. It's not going to happen overnight. Period. They are not going to change their NDA policy. In the future maybe. Actually I will forward the email she sent me this last time after I got off the phone with her an hour ago. I mentioned the problems Jonathan had with the GigE card. That's why she refers to him. Anyway I will forward it in a sec to the list. > Now, if Bill Paul, Jonathan Lemon or whoever can come up with a > "compromise" that would work, fine.

Well I have a feeling if bill even reads this, which he will probably see Intel in the subject and delete it, or has a procmail filter for 'Intel' :-) he will probably just get more frustrated then he is. Jonathan, I dont know. He is probably as fed up as everyone else. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
