That product, the "FDDIXpress XPI" as I think it's called in the price book,
just hit "manufacturing release" about two weeks ago, so we should be starting
to ship the backlog by now. [I'm in engineering; I don't know how long the
queue is.] Sorry you had to wait.

The card's real. We'll be showing it at Interop at the end of this month.
Come talk to the booth crew if you haven't gotten yours by then (or even
if you have).
