Hi!

I'm looking for a stable and modern PC-Operatingsystem and after not being
satisfied with a couple of other OSes I know found FreeBSD and want to try it 
in nearer future, but I have two small questions:
- Is the AHA2940-Support stable ? (Can I do streaming to a SCSI-Tape and having
some other workload without getting a sure crash like on an other free unix?)
- Is their support for TokenRing network available/under development/planned ?

Thanx in adavance for your help.
