I've been looking for this too, and from what I'm told there FreeBSD doesn't do hard realtime, but there are a few kernel options that can get reasonable soft realtime. Haven't looked into that too much since I need hard realtime. Try small@freebsd.org, they might know more. -Brandon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
