I have downloaded a program called archttp32 that appears to be a FreeBSD 4.2 32-bit version of the Arec http proxy server but I really need a 64-bit version (I suppose that would be called archttp64), preferably build on FreeBSD 6.1 (or thereabouts). Any tips, pointers, advice, or warnings would be greatly appreciated. IIRC the new driver (1.20.00.12) supports automatic firmware upgrades. I have some patches floating around in the freebsd PR database that will sync the default driver (version 1.20.00.02) in FreeBSD 6.x to the latest areca sources, which is 1.20.00.12. I never tested this feature...

Any tips, pointers, advice, or warnings would be greatly appreciated. I've done it but under Solaris 10. I basically followed the instructions that Areca has in the docs/website. My card was an 1120 8 port card (I also did an 1130 12 port card through its in-built ethernet port). I went just now to their downloads and they only show the 32 bit archttp server. Try that and see how it works since your amd should also run 32 bit programs, right?. Otherwise, maybe you will have to boot a liveCD in 32bit mode or something and run it from that Chad Thanks, Bob --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net
