Hi, I wonder how is the FreeBSD team looking on the driver ueagle written by one Damien Bergamini. It is a ADSL modem driver which connects using USB, a quite popular solution in Poland, and France as well, aparently. Is the idea of FreeBSD to merge such driver as a hack to the umodem code, or to stay in tune with Damien's solution and merge the whole driver? I would really like to see such a driver supported inside of the FreeBSD system itself since it would make me feel much more comfortable using a somewhat FreeBSD oficially supported code than third party patching. Here follows some more information regarding the project: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ueagle/index.html Cheers, -- Mateusz J?drasik <imachine@toya.net.pl>

I believe ADSL modems tend to send either ATM or ethernet frames whereas umodem deals with RS232 like devices. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
