Huh ? Sorry, I may look like a fool, but a Cyrix ? Gee I'm really
out of touch ... The only non-intel co-processor I've heard of is the Weitek
It seems that this beast is faster amd much more expensive than the Intel
kitter...

Now, would any of you net-lander comment on this ... how many co-processor
are there ? Tested,, untested, price, compatibility etc ...

e-mail or post.

>thanks...jim

Thanks. 
Naji.

P.S. I've posted some times ago a message about MNP level five modems
I recieved several repsonds that clearly showed me I don't have any
clue as to what I was talking about. As soon as I resolve my current
problem, I'll post a summary. Thanks for those of you who sent me
e-mail.
