| It's a no-brainer. Let's do it.
How about networked ddb/gdb over {ether,ppp,usb,firewire,IrDA}?
Firewire and IrDA are works in progress AFAIK, but certainly
ddb/gdb networked debugging is what all FreeBSD dream of, right? :)
The PPC port would greatly benefit from this, as newer Apple stations
do not even have a serial port.
Darwin seems to have networked debugging.
