4 layer, about 60sq in.  Connectors along two edges force the area to
be fairly large.  2 layers isn't really feasible -- I really need a ground
plane.

4pcb's board only go to 30 sq in.  I can't get pcb-pool to give me any
idea what it would cost.

I wouldn't have started working on it if I hadn't identified a supplier.
I actually started using gschem/PCB because I needed the large board/4layer
capability.  In the time it took to get up to speed with gEDA, looks like
my project was cancelled.
