Something I would very much like to know, myself. I posed this very same question to the FreeBSD lists some time ago, and (at least, as far as I understood at that time) the general consensus was that this feature was not available in FreeBSD. If this has changed, though, I'd very much like to know. And, if anyone is working on it, I would be very happy to help out in the testing, etc., as I am pretty handy with a debugger, and not averse to living on the cutting edge. (and I have a home network that I'd like to use this feature with) -- Donald Burr [d_burr@ix.netcom.com], PO Box 91212, Santa Barbara CA 93190-1212 TEL (805)564-1871 / FAX 564-2315 / WWW http://www.geopages.com/WallStreet/2072 PGP Public Key available by request (send e-mail) or on Public Key Servers. ** Uphold your right to privacy - Use PGP. **
