Regards, Raj. Hi Raj: I believe the PRAN package includes kernel modifications to FreeBSD 5.1; it is likely that they will require significant modification in order to compile on FreeBSD 7.x, as the network stack has changed quite a lot in that time (especially relating to SMP). From a glance at the tarball, they also distributed the changes as replacements to existing kernel files, rather than patches, so it's not immediately obvious to me what changes they've made, and how much work would be required to get them up-to-date. As a starting point, I would download a copy of FreeBSD 5.1 and generated explicit patches, which you can post if you would like comments on whether they would apply easily to more recent versions or not.
