I just had a nice phonecon with Jim Ruester of Intergraph's public relations department. For those of you who don't follow CAD, Intergraph produces a line of workstations based on the Clipper CPU, a private-label RISC chip that Intergraph acquired from Fairchild some years ago. He hadn't seen the press release, or heard of the wiretap chip. His (predictable) reaction was to say that he'd forward it to their legal department. I asked that he pass any comments back to me for reposting here. A plea: please *don't* call Intergraph and bother them about this. Putting pressure on AT&T (which has announced products based on the wiretap chip) is one thing. Harrassing a company with a similarly named (and trademarked!) product, in the hope that they'll put pressure on the gov't, is nothing more than bothersome. -Paul -- Paul Robichaux, KD4JZG | HELP STOP THE BIG BROTHER CHIP!
