The firm you engage should be knowledgeable in this. Here is something I'd like to add: USB security tokens. Certain models require specific drivers only available for "Windows 10" (see problems discussed before) and a buggy equivalent for Linux. No macOS support. In case you should require those, experimenting with wine (or a VM with a "single-purpose" installation of "Windows") might be worth looking at. >From my experience, WiFi was never a problem because workstations were all networked with cable, and video cards, well, the brand and model that supported the BrookTree interface provided by FreeBSD was chosen for purchase. Problems solved. ;-) Yes, of course I know that you cannot always buy something new, and instead have to deal with "we must use what we have" problems. That's why proper testing is needed _before_ the transition starts. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
