Sure I have the card but I don't know who suggested the ia64. The problem
is that the machine would be used by them and he said he could neither
guarantee permanent net access nor root access. And I think we need root
to get a base system running :((
I would also like to help porting to ia64 but I would either need a machine
or good network access (I got tcpdump to compile but I can't check it
very much as normal user...)
Thanks
