This sounds like a cool thing. I'll have to take a look at it. I asked because I've been trying to coordinate the various disorganized efforts to get FreeBSD going on mips. There's a lot of cool mips embedded systems that FreeBSD would be great for. Warner Hi Warner. MIPS is definitely the way to go!! We been working very close to Mikrotik in the last 6 years and our software has similar applications but open source and over Freebsd. If I can put more effect and time on this project plus have support for MIPS we could get a very unique Embedded solution on Freebsd Thanks Marcos Biscaysaqu : Thanks : Marcos : : : -----Original Message----- : From: M.
