Please, one list at a time, next time, there's plenty of folks who will react to a sanely worded request like yours. I mailed off to majordomo@freebsd.org, and sent the command who freebsd-hardware When I got the return, I dumped it into a file and began looking for the string "Burr-Brown" Didn't find it, so I tried "BB". Bingo! pekarske_bob@bbrown.com Try sending unsubscribe pekarske_bob@bbrown.com I'm not sure, you might have to send it from that login. This happens fairly often, maybe we should have an explanation about what I did. It hasn't failed me yet. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
