If I can get an account of a reasonably well connected, always on the 'net, freebsd (x86, 32 bit, reasonably modern release) box, I'll be happy to setup a continuous tester on it (see also http://d.puremagic.com/test-results/). That'll help keep it both building and passing the test suite. Later, Brad
