Well, I sure am, and if there's a reasonable level of interest out there I'd be willing to serve as editor. Of course, the reason I'm motivated to do this is because I have lots of questions and few answers, but I guess that's how FAQ sheets get started. Here's what I have in mind for an outline: 1) PCMCIA 1.1) TCIC-2/N controller 1.2) 82365 1.3) Ethernet 1.4) Modems 2) Power management 3) XFree86 issues (briefly, main discussion belongs in comp.windows.x.i386unix) 4) List of hardware If you have an opinion about this one way or another, or questions you'd like to see on the sheet, send me email.
