I have heard, however, from other users of occassional networking code glitches. I experienced it only once, but I have never pushed it too much. I am about to make a decision whether to use Linux or FreeBSD as a base for a UUCP email machine for about 10 people to use. Some machines would also be used in classrooms for introductory TCP/IP classes (and UNIX) with lots of exercises. My primary concern in such a situation is stability and completeness of the networking code. I would appreciate hearing from people who used both of these platforms in similar situations and about their experiences. Thanks! Tony
