i thought people might be interested in this, especially in light of
the recent thread of NeXT's use of gcc for their compiler...

reprinted from this month's (November) issue of "Computer Shopper" (without
permission) from its review of a new terminal emulation program for the pc,
called meow.

	If your NIC isn't one of Meow's supported boards,
	Robbins-Gioia [The makers of this software] will supply you with 
	Free Software Foundation packet drivers for your NIC for a nominal
	shipping fee. It's a great deal and another way that meow stands out 
	from the crowd.

truly fsf is making a greater and greater impression on the software industry...
long may such trends continue... :)

one question tho', the review says nothing of fsf's copyleft policies... does
anyone know if Robbins-Gioia is offering the source for said packet drivers?

jonathan.
