THey say no > and are recommending people use linux :-( Ummm, I had a long chat with a rep from there, and she said that they don't "officially" support FreeBSD at this time, but are thinking about it, and that some of their engineers are FreeBSD users (or dabblers, at least). She said that development efforts for other OS's (NT for example) currently had priority. All that aside, there are TWO drivers available for FreeBSD for the cyclades boards. One that is included in the kernel sources, and another, by Brian E. Litzinger <brian@mpress.com>. The latter one is rumored to be more stable and may (it's rumored) be integrated into the FreeBSD sources at some time (I'm not an athority on these things, mind you). In a month or two (as soon as my current batch of projects settles down) I'm planning on implementing a remote access server using the Cyclades boards. later, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X -------------------------------------------------------------------------
