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.

Right now, there is no big announcement from me.

Anyway let's try to handle thoses problems. 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.

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
