The technical support, however, will not be available due to the number of BSD users in current status. Along with the number of users increasing, they may add a team to support it. Fortunately, I can provide some limited technical support for this driver. So, user may send the bug report driect to me. The loadable Zeitnet ATM driver has been fully tested for FreeBSD 2.2 release. I am putting a completed installation package for BSDi [ BSD/OS 2.0.1 - 2.1.x ] and FreeBSD [ 2.1.x - 2.2.x ]. It will be shipped in this week. The installation script is simplest enough to reduce user's press on sysadm. I do NOT know how is the document will be provided for BSD release. I will try to write some common usage in text format and put in the distribution package. /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v -- Internet: j_guojun@lbl.gov ---\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!j_guojun@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov | \--Ph#:(510) 486-7531 + Fax: 486-6363 --^--http://www-itg.lbl.gov/ITG.html-/
