I guess you have reading comprehension issues.  I said "take it with a
grain of salt" as well as "seems to confirm".  Both are very benign
and offer two sides of the story.  I think your personal feelings are
overpowering your ability to comprehend and reason.

Anyways, maybe the entire reference design is not there but just
connect the 2-3 reference designs and you're there.  Tigerjet provides
the reference design of using the PCI chipset + they provide the
reference design of the X100P (pretty much) and going from X100P to
PCI card with one FXS module is not that hard (just different Silabs
chip) and then multiplying it only needs a small CPLD chip.

Not much brain power to come up with that.

BTW, rumor has it that Mark Spencer did not have contracts for
employees with the exception of salary, back in the old days.  Maybe
you can ask him or check Martin's employee file.
