Why not take one of the existing LN03 DVI filters and extend it to include TPIC
support?  What is actually required for TPIC support?  Since I have my own LN03
filter (LN03DVI), it may be easy for me to extend LN03DVI to support the features
that TPIC requires.

Send me mail if you're interested...
