One of the concepts i liked in SYSV (ducking for cover) was streams and its ability to chain together modules to process a datastream. If it's coupled with kld to dynamically load/unload modules i think you have something _very_ good. That network thing. Can a module route a package thru different modules based on contents and state? /Johan > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
