As always for that kind of API, I looked after the machine-specific JNI interfaces & drivers and found one for Linux but none for FreeBSD. Is there actually a project about the porting of this API ? If not, I'd like to build my own driver from scratch or try to port the Linux JNI to FreeBSD and make it available for the whole FreeBSD community. A friend of mine is also very interested in that project and he's a rather high skill developper in Linux. My porting team is complete :-) . Drop me a line if you'e interested in that project Jim ________________________________________________________________________ "Unix IS user friendly.
