Darn... guess I won't be able to stick with 2.2 after all... I was hoping this would make it in. I usually run -CURRENT, but was sort of looking forward to running a "stable" 2.2 system for a while and not playing the make world game for a few months at least. Oh well, NAT is just too useful, so I guess I'll be 3.0 after all :-) Out of curiosity, when is 2.2-RELEASE going to happen? Is the early Jan. 97 estimate still on target? I have a few friends that I've convinced to run FreeBSD, but I've been telling them to hold off for a few weeks for 2.2 :-) cya, -Mark > > Nate > --------------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | RingZero Comp. vinyl.quickweb.com/mark | --------------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
