KINDLY REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL, THNX...THEEO I don't understand your question. You say you find FreeBSD very intersting. Apparently you have time to study. So what's the question? You need to be told to study something you find interesting? Rather than be difficult I'll read between the lines and answer something I think you are asking but don't know it yet. A smart-mouth once said, "Don't believe everything you read." A wise sage twisted that into something more as "Don't read everything you believe." If you find FreeBSD interesting then don't worry about what the telecummunications industry is using. If you know another advanced OS when something else is before you, then you'll have a leg up on the other students. Become fluent in both systems and when something appears impossible in one but trivial in the other then you'll know it can be done and have a good idea how to get there from here. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
