Please respond if you currently run erpcd on a FreeBSD platform. If you are NOT currently running erpcd on a FreeBSD platform but WOULD run erpcd on a FreeBSD platform if Xylogics officially supported FreeBSD in more than just a single outdated version, please respond as well. DEADLINE: Thursday, Jan. 24 1997 -- I would like to finish this survey quickly, so please respond as soon as possible. I will create a survey results summary and put it online at http://www.infowest.com/erpcd-survey.html on Friday, Jan. 25. SURVEY: * Do you or does your organization currently run erpcd on a FreeBSD platform? (If yes, what version of FreeBSD? 2.0.5R, 2.1R, 2.1.5R, 2.1.6R, 2.1.6-STABLE, 2.2-BETA, or some other version or intermediate version?) * Do you or does your organization currently run erpcd on a BSDI BSD/OS platform? (If yes, what version of BSD/OS?) * Do you or does your organization currently run erpcd on a Linux platform? (If yes, what version?) * Would you or your organization run erpcd on a FreeBSD platform IF Xylogics officially supported FreeBSD beyond a single outdated FreeBSD version (2.0.5R)? * May I use your name, or your organization's name with a contact e-mail address when I contact Xylogics with the results of this informal survey in an effort to encourage them to support FreeBSD? Please specify what name, organization name, and/or e-mail address that I may use. * Please include any other related comments here that you would like included with any message I send to Xylogics. * May I use your contact information and comments on the web page summary? END OF SURVEY PLEASE RESPOND VIA E-MAIL TO: agifford@infowest.com That's all! Thank you for your time and cooperation. I hope there is enough interest in FreeBSD to help Xylogics support it. I currently run erpcd on a FreeBSD 2.1.6-STABLE platform, and I've had trouble with their customer support because I'm not running on an officially supported platform, even though I can run the Xylogics supplied 2.0.5R binary or the BSD/OS binary on the same FreeBSD box. The difficulties with Xylogics customer support are what prompted me to do this survey. Again, thanks for your participation. Sincerely, Aaron Gifford InfoWest Networking
