Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-doc@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi All; I was wondering if anybody had signed up to do the ethernet portion of the hand book? It is remarkably terse! :-) I just did an ethernet install and am now running my two machines, one running freebsd ( and sometimes win31 ) and the other running win31. I have succeeded ( with some really notable help from someone who i will ask first if wants to be named before i splash his name far and near as a helpful net guy ) in getting the win31 machine to visit and execute win31 apps on the /dos directory of the dual boot machine. All it takes is samba and the Free MSoft Lanman client. The ethernet part was pretty tuff, due to my satanic soundcard ( yes, really !! ) and made me realize that a discussion concerning interrupts, ports and probes would be useful as well. I would be willing to share, if it would be needed. Let me know, doc deity's..! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
