In my experience volunteer efforts and timetables don't go together very well. So I would be surprised if anyone is able to give you a firm date. I do see that some preliminary work has been done though, so it looks hopeful. However, the only way to guarantee a date is to either contribute some of the porting work yourselves or fund it. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
