What does ``nlpt'' stand for? If "New LPT" or something similarly useless, then can't we keep the "lpt" name that is standard across PCs and just change the usage to: device lpt0 at ppbus? The number of name changes for devices in FreeBSD is reaching an alarming rate, messes with POLA, and many are simply gratuitous. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
