For instance, I posted several times asking for multicast support under freebsd and I was told that FreeBSD-current had multicasting. Yet, under close inspection the implementation was incomplete. So ask and I ask no clear answer anyhwere except that netbsd had the complete multicasting implementation in netbsd-current. finally, I dowloaded the archive of hacker's mailing for freebsd and managed to locate Jim Lowe who had ported multicasting to FreeBSD. I could perhaps after many hours ported the multicasting code from netbsd to freebsd;however, I saw it as a very irritating task given that it was already available in netbsd. Happily running multicasting: port/development imm -- image server (Jim Lowe) nv -- network video (Jim Lowe) vat -- video/voice (Jim Lowe) conferencing (not fully functioning) radio/ -- sound stream or voice (Me) broadcast conferencing with tuner Gravis Ultrasound card So if the netbsd/freebsd teams are organized it will nice if there was a published task list -- not just some random notes on a mailing list. -- FREE unix, gcc, tcp/ip, X, open-look, interviews, tcl/tk, MIME, midi, sound at freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD Amancio Hasty, Consultant | Home: (415) 495-3046 | e-mail hasty@netcom.com | ftp-site depository of all my work: ahasty@cisco.com | sunvis.rtpnc.epa.gov:/pub/386bsd/X
