I can understan SWI threads, to a small extent, when there is a
lot of processing that needs to be done; that's how I would do
a winmodem driver, were I to try to port one to FreeBSD.

I can't understand the fascination with NETISR, however.  It should
not exist in the first place.

If any one doubts this, they really need to contact Van Jacobsen;
as Archie Cobbs, since he works at the same company as Van, if
you don't have contact information for Van yourself.
