Matt, I'm not very good at conference reports, and my ability to describe people is abysmal. Sorry. :-( Prior to your arrival, Ray, Larry, and I met Kent Meyer of Pigeon Point Systems. He was very interested in our project. Ray seemed to understand what he was doing with his demo, so I'll let Ray explain it. > First of all, Mikes a riot.

You visited their booth before Ray, Larry, and I did. They remembered you. :-) Their products were the best we saw. Nice complete boxes at a relatively inexpensive price point. They are perfect for our use. They are going to check the FCC class on the FW-500 and FW-500ME. >Tech Marketing Associates, Inc., http://www.techmarketing.com/ has >the SC-13 micro standalone board and similar. These boards are PowerPC based, and are very expensive.

Thanks for passing on the information that I missed. I guess I should keep notes next time. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
