I do agree that the name should be changed.  I suggest:

		net.micro.ns32000  -or-  net.micro.ns32k

That gets the National Semiconductor in the name as well as the chip
family name.  (net.micro.nsc might cause some people at nsc.UUCP to
think this a group for 'nsc' users to talk about tiny objects... :-)  )

If folks agree th change the group, I promise to try and keep marketing from
adjusting the name of the chipset again.... :-)
