Thanks for the update. I'm surprised (but glad!) that you obtained the documenatation so quickly. OnStream just contacted me yesterday, offering me a copy of their documentation; however, they told me that it wouldn't be available until June 7. > The support for this is going to be quite complex.

I was thinking of a userland driver program, but it sounds like you're considering kernel driver foo.

It sounds like you've got slightly more time than me. If you weren't going to do it, I'd give it a shot, but I'll let you do it. I can help with testing, though. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
