Maybe it will save you some work, though offhand your two approaches sound different to me. Second - is it worth having? I think the answer to that is if the FreeBSD folks want tech types - those folks already running FreeBSD on servers - to be able to use F as a replacement for W, then support for things like IRDA are good to have. Third - thanks to all of the contributors for all of the great work. I've been running FreeBSD since around 1995, currently on two servers and a laptop, and it's great. Recent (4.x) work lets me use it as a nearly complete replacement for Win9x, what with the linux emulation, vmware port, ICA client port, Star Office and so on. \scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
