I asked whether NetBSD had kernel support to do ip tunneling and masquerading. I have not gotten a single response to this post, nor have I seen any follow ups. I HAVE, on the other hand, seen probably a dozen if not more posts regarding "BSD vs. Linux". I have two things to say about this so-called "BSD vs. Linux Debate" (a) in Linux newsgroup someone would have answered my question (I have had MANY such questions answered the same day I post) (b) Linux DOES support ip tunneling and masquerading (and as far as I can tell NetBSD doesn't. I've looked at the www.netbsd.org site and waited patiently for a response to my post). Both Linux and NetBSD are user supported operating systems. Maybe I'm being hasty, but from seeing how diminuative this newsgroup is, and seeing how my reasonable question went unanswered, I don't think there is much to debate. -- - steve
