If only the uni would just install a wireless network - then I could just ssh. I have FreeBSD on intel at home...but of course telnet from my mac so I have drag and drop :-) Thanks, Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
