/dev/ptmx equivalent for Linux ABI?

2001-05-06 Thread Niek Bergboer
Hi, The installation of the commercial product Matlab R12 under FreeBSD works perfectly with the Linux ABI, thanks to whoever coded up this ABI! The single remaining problem is that Matlab expects to find a Linux-like /dev/ptmx (a pseudo terminal master mux). Failure to find this device results

Hi, I run two systems on an intranet. The intranet itself is rather large, but the two machines in question are connected to the same 100 Mbps/FDX switch. I would like to optimize network throughput for Machine 1. Machine 1 is a AMD K6-2 233 w/ 64 MB RAM running FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE from around m
