        None that I know of, but that could change if I get a little
more information.

        I was told by Joel Tolbert at Schlumberger that a driver for
the 20 should not be real difficult given a driver for the 72.  Apparently
they are very similar archecturally.  You say you will be distributing
the driver for the 72 in object form.  Is there some NDA involved that
is getting in the way of the sources?  It could be as simple (he says
with a cring) as creating a PCMCIA shim to provide a tty like interface
for the 72 driver to talk to.
