   I am looking for an x86 Unix implementation that supports IP multicast.
   I would like to be able to run MBONE applications (nv, vat, sd, wb).
   I know that SunSoft's Solaris 2.4 supports multicast, but I was 
   wondering if any of the freeware implementations (Linux, FreeBSD, 
   NetBSD) supported multicast, and how well. 

Last I knew, both NetBSD and FreeBSD had solid multicast support, and
Linux hadn't even really started on it.
