I have two Comtrol Rocketports running on my ISP on a Linux machine. Our Services Server ( news,mail,www,etc ) is FreeBSD. I am tired of having to re-configure, recompile, reboot the Linux because of crashes, locks, kernel panics, etc. One month ago the system was locking up the serial ports almost once a day. FreeBSD looked for me as a very very much stabler system than linux. I can't understand how comtrol did not made a driver for Rocketport under FreeBSD. I have talked to a guy from comtrol and he said that they do not have plans on supporting another Free operating system, as their experience with linux was a disaster. ( They did one for BSDi and i think it would be very easy to port it to FreeBSD ) Anyone already did a driver for this board for FreeBSD? How about all of we concerned about this problem make a flood of messages to the comtrol guys? Maybe we can convince they on making the driver for such a good System like FreeBSD?
