RE: Let's get started
Ben,
Yes, I (Velio) would attend a weekly phone call on this if it is warranted.
My preference would be for mid-morning (9-11AM), or just after lunch
(1:30-2:30PM). I am on Pacific Time. I think this is an issue that could
be handled by email, maybe even better than a weekly phone call.
There was a mention of a specific test pattern at the Austin XAUI meeting.
I would suggest we find out what the OEM manufacturers are already using to
test their boxes.
