Hmm; I can't recall ever owning a university. Went to one for a while, though ;-) FreeBSD is freely available, and controlled by the FreeBSD Project. The address "questions@freebsd.org" is a public mailing list. In a poor attempt to actually answer your questions, I'd recommend you search for Marshall Kirk McCusick's "Design & Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System". Other documentation can be found at the Project website, www.freebsd.org. The Handbook is of general interest, and there are a number of other books and articles freely available for download that address other aspects of the operating system, ranging from mildly technical to rather seriously technical in nature. And data is transferred by any of a number of protocols, of which TCP/IP is the most common; as for "bursts" vs. "bit by bit", it's neither and both, depending on the nature of your pipeline.... HTH, Kevin Kinsey FreeBSD user .... -- The speed of anything depends on the flow of everything.
