> > Will FreeBSD and the Xfree software work on a token ring network? Not at present. TR drivers are under developement, but are currently not available. X over TR requires definition of a transport protocol. Depending on the encapsulation method, this may or may not take additional work beyond simply getting transports working. If you have a TR card at all, you are a lot closer than most of us to the problem. > Will the work on a MicroChannel System? Not at present. MCA bus interface code (some native drivers, some ABIOS) exists and has existed since FreeBSD 1.1, but has not been integrated, since no one who does integration has an MCA machine. Feel free to help out there as well. 8-). Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
