But I am not sure if zlib > library is linkable from the kernel. It isn't. However, there is a zlib implementation in the kernel already. It's hidden under the PPP_DEFLATE kernel option (the source is in sys/net/ppp_deflate.c). The functions are all prefixed with z_, but apart from that it works the same as userland zlib. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
