useable.. able to use more than 5% of the available bandwidth.
Our environment is not freeBSD exactly. many ports won't compile and
we don't have ports in our setup (I didn't do it.. don't blame me)
But we do and can compile FreeBSD sourcers so ssh from src is an easy
recompile or just a binary drop in.
We used to do it by hand from sources ftp'd from OpenBSD and compiled
straight (no ports),
but since it came to have HPN all that went away because the in-tree
one worked for us.
Now we'll have to resurrect all that framework and pain.
have you mentioned this plan to Brooks? Didn't he add it?
