Dear Webmaster,
=20
Many of our customers have expressed the view that while information on =
NetBSD software is relatively easy to find on the Web they still have =
very real problems finding information about which hardware is available =
with NetBSD driver support, particularly when it comes to connectivity =
products.
=20
Consequently, we have investigated their claims and indeed concluded =
that looking for connectivity (I/O) products is a little like "looking =
for a needle in a haystack". In fact we can't help feeling this state of =
affairs must act as a deterrent for some prospective NetBSD users.
When visiting your site at linux.org we were delighted, and more than =
somewhat heartened, to see that someone was at least trying to provide =
the help NetBSD users so desperately need.
We therefore ask you to help us to "spread the word" about the =
commercial viability of NetBSD by including links to main website at =
http://www.adcomtec.com and our partner website at =
http://www.lanmedia.com or by including our products inn your Hardware =
section.
=20
For your reference, ADCOMTEC is the combined European Business Center =
for LAN Media Corporation (LMC). ADCOMTEC specializes in providing =
high-performance, advanced communications and networking solutions for =
CompactPCI, PCI, and PMC based applications. NetBSD driver support is =
provided for a range of high-performance adapters providing connectivity =
Synchronous Serial, T1/E1, DS3/T3, and HSSI.
