Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Gentlemen, As a result of prohibitively high price policy of our (Russian) communication authorities, our internet community tries to find alternative channels for information exchange. Fortunately, here are produced interface chips for (hopefully) MIL-STD-1553, and the bus seems well suitable for producing a building-wide (or even campus-wide) LAN more reliable than Ethernet, with possible (non-standard) speed decrease due to signal loss in long wires. Are there any programs/drivers to use this interface for FreeBSD networking? Anatoly
