Hi Guys, I guess I have to give you some explanations. I am still the maintainer of the BSD part (yes, it's written on the website).. Unfortunatly, the last 2 years, I didn't do any dev on the driver, just a few corrections on docs and scripts. For the personal part, I have been moving around with no internet connection at home for about 2 years. I just settled down 1 month ago and sent the signup form for the internet connection 3 days ago ! Hopefuly I'll be connected in a few weeks.

The open points that needs to be reviwed are : - 1.3 working on every BSD ? if not why ? (btw now gmake is mandatory to compile the driver) - hard reset of the modem (The 2 points you mentionned deals with it or did I miss something?) Is there anyother problem with the driver under BSD ? Open and Net still use pppoa2 cauz of the lack of good thread library ? Anyway, I promise I'll have a look at your request very soon. > Many thanks, > > Simon. About the futur of the project (BSD part), now as I am working, I don't have much free time. So if someone is interested in taking over that job, there is no problem. I can also give him some hints and help. Just let me know ! Have Fun -- Francois Rogler Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
