This original question brings to mind an old Russian joke about a famous soviet revolutionary (1917) hero V.I. and his adjutant P. It goes like this: V.I. and P. are flying a plane. V.I. is at the controls - intently staring into the fog - and P. is behind him. V.I.: - P., the device?! P.: - Five! V.I.: - What is "five"? P.: - and what is "the device"? I am not sure how well my translation comes across, but I could not resist. - Vadim On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 9:19 PM, steve weir <weirsi@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I give you credit for sheer chutzpah. > > Mashook Ahamed Usman wrote: > > Dear Experts, > > Good day! > > Currently I am assigned to collect the routing tips for 6.25Gbps serdes > interface.
