It might refer to Cadmus, a German mainframe computer brand in 1980s and 1990s. The reason is probably that MAC addresses are not assigned too liberally. Instead, you need to ask for a large portion. Innotek probably bought a slice of those MAC addresses before or after Cadmus went dust. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
