If you were to offer them (COMM.DRV+source & unix daemon+src) as free software, I can almost guarantee that you would get more beta testers than you'd know what to do with. You would also get your software ported to FreeBSD for free - by me. As a side note, before someone notices that I've made such empty promises before, I got my copy of "Unix internals" today so my empty threats will start to be filled now. Even "Barnes & Noble" said that there were only a few copies of this book in their shops in the whole of the US ! I would never have been able to get this from the UK - lucky I'm working in the US for a while. They threatened 4-6 weeks, but managed to stock the book in 1 week. Pretty good. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
