Re: [openss7] Other Vendors for the list

Phil,

Thanks for the tip.

I looked at the Emulex cards and their website has sufficient
technical information on the cards for development of a driver
for three of the cards which I could get technical specifications
on.  I have added them to the links page.

I also looked at Adax, however, I did on see anywhere where they
have either technical specifications on their cards for driver
development or opensource drivers.  I know of quite a few
companies which bundle SS7 software with their cards, but this
list was intended only to include cards for which OpenSource
drivers could be ported or developed.  Many of the card vendors
provide OpenSource Linux WAN or other drivers available for
download on their FTP sites.

So, I haven't added Adax.  Did you know whether they have opensource
software or sufficient technical specifications to develop?

--Brian
