Okay, I'm back. I sprang for Gentoo and Fedora 15 distribution discs, and now I seem to have a nice, but expensive, set of coasters because apparently all of Linux has gone tiny console fonts at something like 170x48 resolution (and really are turning themselves into Gnome machines that totally neglect command line applications). Since I am in unices for the command line applications I don't have much choice. But I still don't want to be stranded in an orphaned version when 7.x reaches the end of its life.
Since uart in 8.x will not support my PCI 3com hardware modem (as FreeBSD sio has since 4.x) and my PR is gathering dust, before I buy any more coaster sets from osdisc.com, it behooves to ask if there are any dialup modems that 8.x uart actually supports for ppp on demand? -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
