Not really, apparently IT screwed up and they are not recovering
quickly. I'm sure anyone who has had to deal with the corporate
webserver has some understanding how painful and slow this stuff can
be.

TI is trying, people are starting to understand open source and to
feed themselves using open-source models. Changing large corporations
is a slow process. There are people who really want people in the open
source world to do things with their DSP's.

If anyone needs further information, the best place to ask is the
Beagle Board list.
