Someone told me that it would be implemented soon for NetBSD (no modem emulation coming alas). Then I asked about FreeBSD, and he said that work was only for NetBSD, but that someone can port it to FreeBSD. It requires a modified kernel PPP and PPPD. My question: is someone tracking BISDN and porting it to FreeBSD? Any chance of sync PPP on ISDN available anytime soon? As much as I hate it, but I'll have to install Linux tonight since that is the only system I can really use with my new ISDN connection. This is a good example of how extremely counterproductive the BSD splits are, and that although Linux is much less clean, the large numbers are a big advantage: much more hardware support and software available. It just never hit me personally until now. -- Peter Mutsaers | Abcoude (Utrecht), plm@xs4all.nl | the Netherlands
