Not really. OSI was something that was kluged in by Berkeley fairly late in the game, when people still thought it might actually be used by somebody. XNS is far closer to being BSD heritage (since it was the original proof-of-concept that the socket framework was capable of supporting multiple protocols), and only one cranky ISV complained about its loss. > I'd really prefer to stick with FreeBSD > but might be forced to consider Net/Open... Don't think we consider this threatening. There are some things they are able to support that we don't want to -- such is life. We have no desire to see anyone unhappy; if you have an application for which their codebase is a better match than ours, by all means, use it! -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
