Can you be more specific about "properly deals with this"? We had a previous tester give up on the svec card in total disgust after being unable to make it do anything useful, so any insight that would help us to support them properly would be useful. In particular, are there any code changes between 2.2 and 3.0's 'ed' driver that you think might account for the different behaviour? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
