Hello,

I've waited for ages for FreeBSD 2.1 to come out on CD,
but there's no sign of it.  I need it fairly badly for AHA-2940
support and improved IP packet filtering.

I currently run FreeBSD 2.0.

I've only got a 28.8Kbps PPP link to the Internet.  Is it
feasible to try to download the necessaries over this
link or would I be waiting a lifetime?

Is it possible to do a full upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 in
this manner?

Thanks for any info.


Regards,
Mike
