What's PAO?

PAO is a package that supports moble computing on FreeBSD.  Part of
old PAO packages have been incorporated into original FreeBSD souce
tree, and now also the code in this package is waiting for
integration.  Part of codes in PAO has been less reviewed and it
includes some experimental (pre-alpha level) codes that is not suited
to be incorported into the original source tree at current status, but
PAO is more useful and support more card compared to current FreeBSD
PC-card suppot.
