-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I think the original poster was attempting to determine something of the etymology of ``protosw'' and ``softc''. Of course I can't read minds :-) though I like to pretend to sometimes :-) ``protosw'' is mneumonic for ``protocol switch'', as I pointed out previously. Does anyone know why ``softc'' structs are called ``softc'' ? I'm still curious.
