> There are incredible inconsistancies in the "focus" of the core team, and if Dennis, Our "focus" is driven largely by what people do for us. A bunch of hackers in Germany decide they want ISDN, they hack on it. I have a vested interest, being an ISDN user myself, and so perhaps I talk about it a little more. An incorrect focus? I don't think so. I think this is just the natural brownian motion that accompanies any group of volunteers. People do what they WANT to do. As to the focus on serial drivers in general, you're pretty wrong if you think they're not important to us or that we haven't spent a lot of time trying to improve the situation. At least 3 core members have spent quite a bit of time with Cyclades in ironing out support for their cards, I've got about 27 calls into Digiboard which have failed to net much support, and I was the one pushing aggressively for ARNET (now Digi) support and got John Hay the boards he used to do the port. In comparison to what I've focused on with the rest of the system, I'd say that multiport serial cards have occupied more of my time than anything else. Like many things, we need help. Since you're making money off of us now, perhaps you'd consider a donation? The full details on how to do this are in http://www.freebsd.org/submitters.html. We can always use hardware or funds to buy hardware in expanding our support for all types of peripherals. It's a two-way street, Dennis! Jordan
