Well, these things aren't exactly seamless, but they are doable. In (all?) of these cases, the access to the host's resources are done indirectly via drivers and emulated hardware. An exception to this is USB which can (I think) be done directly allowing a client to utilise the USB devices of the host regardless of the support of the individual device by the host. As far as network, it can be natted or bridged from the controller, and audio is done as a sound device driver that just streams the sound to the parent's sound mechanism. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
