BTW I looked into the 'demo' program and it appears they only want to allow 'serious' potential customers to try it. Wonder if the FreeBSD version would work with a Gravis PnP. Recently I've had renewed interest in video and sound, Amancio fixed the sound driver setup on -current last weekend which is working out real fine. Do you have video and audio working with mbone-type tools? I'd like to see if this GUS setup will work for audio transmission but I don't know what the present state of the sound driver WRT VAT. This used to require startup with special arguments to get it working on FreeBSD, I think that situation would probably still exist -Amancio ? regards kim -- kimc@w8hd.org
