Whoa, boy!	I think that the statement "they practically own the Enet
market" is a bit rash.	Check with IBM, DEC, SUN or 3COM or look inside their
boxes.  I think you'll find that there are about twice as many AMD LANCE, SIA
and XCVR chips in them as all those other manufacturers have sockets combined.
"LOOK AGAIN" to quote the T.I. speak n' spell chip.		Mark

I have opened a few HP LAN modules and I see AMD LANCE and SIA chips.

I don't how NATL Semi could possible "OWN" the ENET mkt.
