If you want to buy a support contract for older version of FreeBSD, please contact BSDi at 1-800-800-4BSD (or +1 719 457 8400 outside the USA) or, if you prefer, any of the other companies offering commercial support for *BSD which are listed in the gallery. Expecting unpaid volunteers to perform the same function as the pay-for-use operating system vendors would be so unrealistic as to border on idiocy and so I can only give you the benefit of the doubt in assuming you must have been talking about something else. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
