Argus 2.0 wishes

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Peter,
   I was the sponser at FORE that provided CoralReef 
their FORE cards and source code.  They just pass up
the 1st cells of every AAL 5 frame that comes into the
SAR function.  There is really no processing of the
headers in the card.  At least thats what they did
when I was at FORE.

   The AGP interface suggest was really something of
a grin, but I am interested in the feasibility of such
an approach since it is the fastest path to memory
in a WinTel box, and there is no reason that it has to
be a video processor at the other end of it.

Carter
