I should have qualified "can" more carefully. In contrast to a closed, commercial operating system, where the traditional response to a problem report is "wait for the next release", a truly open system like FreeBSD makes it possible for you to turn to a consultant-for-hire and seek an independant solution. Such a solution may involve you paying said consultant; the message I intended was merely that the solution was available at all. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
