I see LS2/5 and PS2/5 support but nothing for NS2/5. Searching the forum I found: Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 2:38 pm from oswave "We currently have no plans to port oswave to NS2/NS5." And it goes on to ask why and also someone says if you order 1000 they will (likely) do it. I am not able to find it, can you post a link.
