I realize that this is not really a FreeBSD question but since I know that many of the people on this list are either very knowledgeable about TCP/IP or have even written code for FreeBSD's implementation of TCP/IP, I thought I'd try here first. I'm not necessarily looking for someone to directly answer my question, pointers to further information on this topic would be greatly appreciated. I would like to have some factual information on this topic because there are these Microsoft-brainwashed weenies here at my school that were claiming that NetBEUI was better than TCP/IP because xxx, and because yyy. I want to be able to claim that TCP/IP is better because xxx, and also because yyy. xxx and yyy would of course be reasons provided by somebody on the list or from some other source. Thanks, C.P. ____________ Christian Plazas Columbus College, Columbus,GA 706.568.2063 ______________________________________________________________________
