This was forwarded to me; I think it's worthwhile so I'm passing it on. If you'd like to see FreeBSD supported by Xylogics, please take a few seconds to fill this in and send it off. ----- Forwarded message from Matthew Baker ----- >From matt@portal.net.au Wed Jan 22 17:42:30 1997 Message-Id: <199701220715.RAA01062@junior.portal.net.au> Subject: FreeBSD stuff Date: Wed, 22 Jan 97 17:48:32 +1100 x-mailer: Claris Emailer 1.1 From: Matthew Baker <matt@portal.net.au> To: "Mike Smith" <msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Mike, Just read the following in comp.dcom.servers, just wondering if you have seen it go past in the FreeBSD mailing lists, and if you think it's worthwhile posting to them to get more people to respond to it. >PURPOSE: > >The purpose of this survey is to see if enough Xylogics (Bay Networks) >erpcd users exist using FreeBSD to encourage Xylogics to officially >support FreeBSD.

Thank you for your time and cooperation. I hope there is enough interest in FreeBSD to help Xylogics support it. I currently run erpcd on a FreeBSD 2.1.6-STABLE platform, and I've had trouble with their customer support because I'm not running on an officially supported platform, even though I can run the Xylogics supplied 2.0.5R binary or the BSD/OS binary on the same FreeBSD box. The difficulties with Xylogics customer support are what prompted me to do this survey. Again, thanks for your participation.
