ok -- *personally* i agree with tracy's (and many others including hp)
assessment that releasing the hp-ib drivers is not really the answer.  *but*
as the chair of sig sysman -- i can't make this decision from my ivory tower
:-)

so -- please tell me -- do you want this issue surrounding the hp-ib drivers
on the system improvement ballot?

send me *private* email.  i'll count up the responses and let everyone know
the results.  because i'm dealing with a deadline for getting the ballot items
resolved, i'll only consider emails received by midnight (pacific time) on
monday the 28th.  vote early but don't vote often :-)              - d
