>From Doland Becker's site <http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html>: Why do we use names like "Vortex"? These are the 3Com internal names for the implementations. The names make it clear which product we are talking about, and the product numbers are often mistyped -- even I've made the mistake of referring to the 3c509 when I meant 3c905. (3Com only purchased rights to the numbers '3' '5' and '9', Intel owns '4', '8', '6', and '2'. '0' and '1' are still in the public domain ;-) ;-) > Cheers and have a good one. > > BK Greetings Mark Plowman _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
