Hi I wrote a minitel server in the past. this server can accept up to 256 connections. the reconnection were made through X25 lines and an external box that convert syncronous/X25 protocol into a simple asynchonous one (composed of packet delimited by STX/ETX) a program receive the packets for 32 channels simulateously and direct the packets to a series of queues in shared memory. As the application has to read/write in a shared memory for its standard input/input it is impossible to use standard programs. I'm sure that FreeBSD network is more reliable than Interactive Unix one and I would like to replace this absurd mechanism by an incoming network connection to the X25 box through a socket and 32 outgoing connections to the clients. That's why I need about 35 open sockets for this process and about 16 normal files. each client would have at least one open socket and up to 20 open files Is it possible to do that with FreeBSD 2.0 For 256 users I would need 800 sockets 5000 open files 800 processes Thanks for your help ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Didier Derny didier@aida.remcomp.fr ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
