I didn't like what I read in it and want to know if *BSD was likely to become overwhelmed by it as I can see a time when the Internet will become divided between the two camps (TCPA and non-TCPA) where services between the two will not be compatible. How can we overcome this and are there any pojects or movements underway to combat it? I don't want Microsoft to get any more power than it already has. Thanks fo your time and I look forward to hearing from you shortly. Adrian. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
