freeBSD is using the standard Net/3 net code, a big plus since it is well documented and thus, relatively easy to fiddle around. I maintain a freeBSD machine for this reason alone. When the BSD folks say that their net code is better than Linux are, I think, referring to the design aspects: they are of the opinion that their's has a cleaner design than ours. They are also very keen in displaying benchmark results, showing linux at the bottom of the list, without any indication of which Linux kernel was used in the comparison; we know that their code was written in 1994, but ours has had two or three major changes since then. -- Ioannis Tambouras [EMAIL PROTECTED], West Palm Beach, Florida Signed pgp-key on key server. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
