This isn't technically a FreeBSD question, but I thought someone on the list might know about it. I have a couple of IBM Netstation 1000's I picked up for $25. They work great, are fast (on a 100Mb/s switched network), and light on power. My only grumble with them is that mouse support is primitive, they can only display 256 colors (no more, no less), and the CAPS_LOCK and CTRL keys are switched (easily fixable through xmodmap). They also have a MWM audio system (which I assume refers Motif Window Manager). It appears to support 16bit audio, but I haven't yet found a way to send audio data to it. I have the full "manual" for the Netstation, but it is fairly vague about the audio system, only mentioning the specifications of the Crystal audio codec. The only controls for it are on/off and volume. Does anyone know of a way to route audio data from FreeBSD to the audio system on these things? While it certainly isn't a requirement, it would be nice. Thanks, Seth Henry
