My post was referring to the email from Chanakya Open Source Technologies. If my tone seemed negative, it was because I have the suspicion that they are looking for money for their services, and not offering to volunteer. If I am wrong, and COST is actually volunteering its services for free, then I hereby apologise. I'm not sure why you were directed to the freebsd-doc list for help, because freebsd-doc tends to be for postings about documentation issues that need to be addressed. If you would like help with FreeBSD technical problems, an excellent place to start is the Usenet group: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc or the freebsd-questions mailing list. Trust me, 90% of the people are friendly. In fact, most are more friendly than you'll find on most other groups. I am not a good example, as I have grown tired and cynical over my years. -- Bob
