Making use of BPF, CAP can run on FreeBSD box in native EtherTalk (Phase 1). It worked for me with FreeBSD 1.1, and presumably with 2.0 as well which I don't test actually. Unfortunately, CAP on BPF had a performance problem. I know that some guys were working to solve this problem. I hope their work is incorporated into the CAP official patch. ============================================================================== Motonori Shindou Carnegie Mellon University SCS Graduate Student e-mail: moto@cs.cmu.edu, NiftyServe: GEG04056 WWW: http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001:/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/moto/WWW/moto-home.html TEL: 412-362-9636 FAX: 412-362-9634 ==============================================================================
