Re: TI-H: TI Tokenized Networking technology, and farewell
I operate the TI-Network list. You are subscribed to it now... Chris
might be helping me, but he might also have too much to do. We'll see. He
will work on the 86 drivers, I guess, if he does. He has helped alot and
will get credit for what he has done already. So he is helping in ways
that he might not be aware in!
