There is now a port for this available at net/bittwist if anyone is interested in playing with it further. It doesn't build under 4.x due to a redefinition of in_addr_t and a lack of round(), but it builds under more recent versions. :) -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
