I'm not certain about this and need more input. The serial side of configuration is more open-ended.

And I'd have a starting point for the handbook docs. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
