- Seems I will be doing this myself sometime soon. HP, in it's infinite
- wisdom, put audio hardware on the low-end stations (the 710s and 705s)
- but not on the high-end hardware (>=720).

- We have a multi-media project here, and as soon as my 3 Sound Blaster
- Pro cards come in, and the aforementioned doc, *and* I find IP
- multicasting for HP-UX 8.05, I will have voice-conferencing locally.
-
- Which reminds me: why did they have to bastardized the netinet code
- so that you can't patch it yourself from Berkeley code? I don't see
- the wisdom in this. I would _love_ to drop in Steve Deering's code.

- P.S. You can ask me in 2-3 months if I have a working driver for the
- Sound Blaster Pro. With a bit of luck, it will even be compatible
- with the Audio programming libraries.
