I see there's a UPnP SDK in the ports, but no sign that FreeBSD would do anything interesting with it. Is it, as I suspect, only useful to people who want to connect Microsoft Windows machines to the net without knowing anything? -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
