I understand that as: Don't send how-to questions to -net or -isp or -hardware, but instead send how-to's to -questions. If your topic is really techincal [ie I'm writing a device for foo NIC, need some help with this part...here is my code ...this needs to be sent to -hardware or -net] but, 'Does foo NIC work in FreeBSD?' does not go to -hardware, but to -questions. www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
