nothing but spam for weeks. Perhaps Usenet itself is nearing the end of its useful life, at least in NNTP distribution form, as opposed to web-based social networks. -- Rich Seifert Networks and Communications Consulting 21885 Bear Creek Way (408) 395-5700 Los Gatos, CA 95033 (408) 228-0803 FAX Send replies to: usenet at richseifert dot com | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Other newsgroups I read seem to be doing fine. It may be that nothing interesting is happening in ethernet. It does what it is supposed to do. I might have some questions soon, though. I have a Digilent Spartan3E board which has a LAN83C185 PHY connected to an FPGA. The MAC has to be implemented in the FPGA, most likely in verilog (or VHDL, but verilog if I do it). Even more, I might want a MAC that looks like some older systems, so that might take some debugging. Otherwise, it should be a good sign. That non-ethernet questions, such as IP questions, go to the appropriate group. -- glen | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you really mean "completely" then I will take "when Earth no longer has a molten core" :) rick jones -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, rebirth... where do you want to be today? these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
