Nah -- reading chicken entrails.

Or, more like the fact I've never seen it mentioned
_anywhere_, and one might think that a significant
little detail. (But then, how long have we had the
tri-core and quad-core CPUs on the market ? Probably
not much more than a year, at this point.) There is
also the fact that my questions like this -- such as,
"Does the inclusion of 'PHY' in the Nic description
automatically mean it is the kiss of death for eCS ?"
-- most often draw no response here. That leaves the
newsgroups as the main venue to go trolling for an
answer.

Fair enough. I hope there are good instructions for
enabling this . . . somewhere. It doesn't sound like
something the installer is going to finesse for us.
