Hi, I suspect that there are people on this list that are using NetBSD. The port of my ISDN driver for NetBSD has progressed alot in the last couple of days, and there is not very much left. I am looking for some feedback. What there is currently is a downloadable and compilable kernel module for NetBSD: fetch http://home.c2i.net/hselasky/isdn4bsd/privat/temporary/devfs.tar.bz2 Extract this file, "cd devfs", "make all", and "modload devfs.o". Note the module will not load, hence there are some undefined symbols. I have done like I have written earlier, and that is to make a small library that emulates FreeBSD on NetBSD. In compressed form, this library is 10% of the total package, so it is not that bad. If more software will use it, then the benefit will be greater. First of all I must say that the device structure found in NetBSD 2.x.x is very old-fashioned, and looks like what was used in FreeBSD 3/4. Actually I recommend NetBSD to take after FreeBSD at this point. If someone has got any comments, I am open for that. Currently I have a set of files I don't know where to put. After extracting the referred tarball, "find devfs/* |grep freebsd_", will show those files. This is a little troublesome, because there can only be one FreeBSD emulator in the kernel at a time, due to conflicting symbols, so maybe this should be put in some other subdirectory than "/usr/src/sys/netisdn" ? For those that do not know what my ISDN driver is about, it is a modern ISDN driver that supports multiple D-channel protocols, NT-mode and TE-mode, E1, CAPI20 and alot more. --HPS
