Nor have I, I just find it easier to maintain personally. To be honest, low level kernel and tcp/ip functions are far beyond my skill and knowledge at the moment, but I'm learning. : RTFM, RTFM, RTFM (myself, this time) :-) : : Best regards, : Salvo Matt Heckaman matt@arpa.mail.net http://www.lucida.qc.ca -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.qc.ca/pgp iD8DBQE5AAnBdMMtMcA1U5ARAtxEAJ4wrWK4Vl+ZHZpXd9WZ7JMCXbcEawCgoPGV MovULeNIqT2aI7JJHWLo2Ng= =6xyA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
