that'd be cool, and i wish i could as well.  with the non-profit status of
the foundation though, i can at least make personal donations.  all this
talk about network features/tuning has me grinning ear to ear.  thanks to
everyone putting in the time/effort.

the thing is...  it's kind of sad more of the companies that have built
their products on *BSD don't donate regularly.  i know plenty of companies
with appliances, products, etc. built on FreeBSD...  is there any sort of
"PR" person for the project that could make a semi-regular habit of
soliciting these orgs?  i know it'd be hard to do correctly, but it just
seems like the "right" thing to do and could get a lot of corporate
funding...  which seems like what would help the most.
