I am a Caldera Channel Man, I think you have no idea how few problems BSD systems have to detect ethernet cards. Compared to those junk Linux distributions with broken tulip drivers, hanging ne2000 detects and missingmodules you can do much better without even reaching *BSD.

Visit our WEBsite Be assured, the majority of NetBSD users just want a terminal window and no Xdm by default. Not to speak of Wabi. >UNIX-like OS'es need to be easier for sure, especially the setup. Your behaviour could be improved, too. If you continue to post these spam, I will make sure that Caldera recognizes what their "partner" does. Should they decide to ignore me we'll have to see what Caldera think of an upset usenet Linux community. After all, they sell a product build by the same people you decided to piss off. -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org> http://cracauer.cons.org Fax +49405228536 "As far as I'm concerned, if something is so complicated that you can't ex- plain it in 10 seconds, then it's probably not worth knowing anyway"- Calvin
