Hardware question - WAN port for FreeBSD router!

Hi all. Please forgive me if this post is altogether in the wrong place, but I need help finding a certain piece of hardware. I have a number of firewalls running (very happily) on FreeBSD. Each one is connected on the outside NIC to a Cisco 1601 Router, which is connected in turn to an NTU

Stupid debugging pthread question

This is a stupid question, basically it's how to debug something. I have four cooperating p-threaded processes. One of them keeps getting a SIGSEGV with the address 0x752f422f. I'm not sure if that address is always the same, but with a given compile it is. The thing that's a pain is it is
