I'd appreciate it if Terry (or someone else) could clarify exactly the differences between the "scheduler activations" model described in the paper Daniel Eischen recently pointed out (which I thought was very well written): http://www.freebsd.org/~deischen/p95-anderson.pdf and the model he seems to prefer (async call gates). I've been rereading some of the old discussions about this, and they seem fairly similar. I'm not likely to be able to bring much to the discussion, but I'd appreciate the extra hint so I can understand it better :-) Kris ---- "Lisa, if you don't like your job, you don't strike - you just go in every day and do it real half-assed.
