Hello Everyone:

     I got a message today from the IO & Networking team of CSY looking for
     input on what requirements everyone has for Gigabit Ethernet on
     MPE/iX. They were asking field Account Support Engineers for their
     input, but I felt the best idea would be to get input from HP
     customers directly who have a need for this technology.

     The questions being asked are:

     - How big is the demand/need for Gigabit Ethernet?
     - What are the features being asking for?
     - Is there a requirement for port aggregation on Gigabit Ethernet?
     - Are there any other specific requirements?


     If you have any thoughts on this, just email them to me and I will
     compile all responses and forward it on to the appropriate individual
     requesting the information. Please indicate in any responses if I can
     submit your name and company name along with your response.

     Thank you.
