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. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
