Hey! I could be wrong, too! Urlman - You said "I don't understand your conclusion..." Well, first, while it is definitely a positive to see that Fred is also on PTSC's board, it doesn't, in my mind, prove anything. Secondly: Lantronix's press release said that their O/S was developed internally. If we take that at face value, that would exclude PTSC right there. (P.S: I'm not in the habit of taking press releases at face value...) Thirdly: JAVA is not an O/S. Fourthly: last night, I signed up to become a registered user for the Lantronix SDK. After a (very!) quick look around, I noted that Lantronix says: "The programming environment for the Lantronix SDK utilizes a "C" interpreter which runs on top of the server's operating system. Using the SDK, you can quickly develop "C" code that adds the unique functionality you need to the Lantronix MSS platform." Note that a "C" interpreter is not a JAVA interpreter, and I think it's unlikely that anyone would (could??) write a "C" interpreter in JAVA (itself an interpretive environment). Given all of the above, it's my opinion that PTSC's not involved...this time around. Who knows - it could be because the new chip's not shipping in quantity yet, and Lantronix wanted to get started now. There could be a million reasons. That being said, it strikes me that this is *exactly* the kind of application that PTSC is going to thrive on. I'm also extremely curious to see how PTSC's LINUX-on-a-chip project is going. That would be another awesomely powerful foundation on which to build products! Hey, but I could be wrong, too! Have a great weekend, Steve
