I do not even know where my two remaining sticks are.  I gave the best one 
to my mother.  I tend to use ssh and realize that there are actually 
reasons to have the usb technology; e.g., it is small to carry around.

I could find the sticks, though.

All that I recall is that FreeBSD uses a different device than OpenBSD, 
and NetBSD's device was more similar to OpenBSD's than FreeBSD's.

I might get a chance to find and update my notes next week, probably 
Sunday or Monday.
