[Ukfreebsd] Notes from last nights meeting

[Jon Schneider]

Yes indeed and if I'd known or paid proper attention to what was going to
be discussed I'd have dropped my prior engagement.

Being involved in ethernet TAPs I can also imagine doing something
_useful_ with NetFPGA.

May I again bring up the subject of a (pub ?) meeting in Cambridge as the
last was far too long ago.
