Will be interesting to see if those promises are real or vaporware. Lots of manufacturers "floating" things as announcements these days, and waiting to see if the market "bites" before they actually build them. The Ethernet port on the back -- I haven't seen any "version 1.0" networking stuff work right from ANY of the radio manufacturers... they have RF engineers, and didn't really "stock up" on network engineers before building these things... they often make very childish mistakes. (EF Johnson's use of true IP multicast to link their repeaters to dispatch consoles early on, was horrible. A very "beginner" mistake when viewed by any data networking engineer who's been doing it for a while.) We'll see what Moto does. Their VoIP cards for telco certainly are a giant pain in the butt, and they keep changing their own published interface specifications for them... the switch to RoHS cards also brought with it a complete re-write of all the code to talk to them... thanks Moto! -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
