Tom,
The point I was trying to make was - that if somebody wanted a=20
multi(radio)port TNC with a 10MHz ethernet port, why not use a
486 with one or more USCC card - probable total cost of =A350.00
at the most plus the cost of the USCC card(s). Much cheaper
than just one of the chips mentioned here previously!=20
