And I might even put the ADSL interface on the mainboard.= What I'm not sure is if the netgraph code currently has hooks into the ATM network interfaces, and if it "knows" about ethernet frame bridge encapsulation. I'm guessing that the netgraph platform would make the most sense to support this kind of application. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
