OK, for your information, S3's phone/FAX numbers are:

voice:	(408)-986-8144	
FAX:	(408)-986-1457

They will gladly send technical information regarding the 86C911 including
assembler code for C callable libraries to use the 86C911 and a very nice book
describing every register to anyone who requests it (unless they have suddenly
changed their policy).  A very nice way to increase the popularity of the
chip, really. :-)
