Wasn't being upset, your answer was legitimate and was what I needed. I have the same problem with TR. I just had a sudden need to support TR (read, for work) and needed a decisive answer about FreeBSDs support of TR. Once the answer was received I built my first Linux machine and happily passed it on to the customer. > (I myself only use 10bT/100bT ethernet and sync. serial at work, and I > would have a hard time justifying getting a TR testbed just for me to > play with) Ditto. And no one is going to run TR at home (I have 10bT just like most of the rest of us). *shrug* I'm not pushing for TR support, there are far more things I'd rather have in FreeBSD than TR support. -Steve
