While reading a lot of source code and add some code here and there I came to the idea how useful it whould be to have these changes for other BSDs and architectures != i386 on FreeBSD. I saw that OpenBSD and NetBSD use wscons. This whould make things for my project easier, if we whould have wscons in FreeBSD. What whould the FreeBSD project think about a ported wscons for FreeBSD? I know that wscons lags a few things, what we allready have at syscons, but people arn't forced to use it if they don't want to. best regards, Gordon -- Gordon Bergling http://www.0xFCE3.net/ PGP Fingerprint: 7732 9BB1 5013 AE8B E42C 28E0 93B9 D32B C76F 02A0 RIPE-HDL: MDTP-RIPE "There is no place like 127.0.0.0/8"
