Radek:

This is extremely encouraging news! There are a few gaps in your
explanation that are caused by my lack of knowledge.

1. Please elaborate on the 'g3port' device. Who makes this accessory, and
what is the model name for the G4 macs?

2. Where do I go to "grab" the source code for the UnixNPI?

3. Where can I go to learn how to do the compile and execution of the
resultant code?

Thank you very much for this information.

Any others who can add clarification to what Radek has described will be
greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Richard.
