A friend of mine is an ISP > using Linux using this cards and he would like to try FreeBSD instead. Nope. But i once considered porting a driver for a Comtrol board, and they are _very_ cooperative. There are good chances that anybody who wants to write a driver will get support from them. (I've got full doc including the source code of a SysV driver for one of their older boards, but alas, the board is really too ancient to justify the amount of work needed for a driver, just for the single card i've got.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
