Chris, if you can't politely answer questions here, maybe you ought to defer to others, or maybe ask the person to use the FreeBSD-Questions list (which he should have done). Jumping on someone because they asked a perfectly reasonable question (had it been sent to -questions) isn't going to help anything, not even reduce the signal/noise ratio here. Remember, be polite (even if the question was driving everyone crazy). > > == Chris Layne ======================================== Nervosa Computing == > == coredump@nervosa.vendetta.com == http://nervosa.vendetta.com/~coredump == > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
