At Cisco, while I was as there I used my FreeBSD box to help trouble their ip multicast code. This was a couple of years ago so I am not responsible for the state of affairs right now... o Low level X development work or modified XIE to provide hardware support for fax. o Snmp test development . o Tele-commuting. Whenver possible is great to use my FreeBSD box to work. o Voice and Fax -- right now my FreeBSD box serves as an answering/fax machine . I really like this a lot since I hate answering machines or stupid fax machines. Nor scanner though. o Occasionally, I watched a VideoCD on my box or on TV. The other day I gave a demo to an old friend of mine and he sat down and watch the whole movie so watch out! Since, I had already seen the movie I just kept on typing on my system :) Okay, is not rocket science ... Enjoy, Amancio
