I checked the UCL ftp server and there is a rat release for FreeBSD.
I downloaded it to Amancio's FTP site rah.star-gate.com since the
transatlantic links are often very slow.
On my FreeBSD 2.2.2, this version 3.0.22 of rat is unable to open
the audio device. Right now I am running FreeBSD's audio driver...
I seem to remember that rat for FreeBSD was developed using the
OSS audio driver. Can anyone check that such is the case. This
rat release appears to be only in binary -- too bad, since it would
be nice to make it work with Amancio's gus driver.
