TCS (or one of the tata avtars) contibuted major parts of a sip gateway which is part of the vovida project. Wipro have their names listed as linux developers for TI's omap processors. Naturally. If they had to do something under any prop toolchain they would be debugging for the next 100 yrs. But overall the big boys using their age old tactics which is waiting for the grubs to bioform the biz environs, then stroll in with some fancy brouchers and laugh all the way to the bank (at the expense of most banks). rgds jtd -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
