 }  You're welcome.

      Every bit helps.

 }  Thanks for the offer, but I don't have any experience with hardware
 }  drivers so I'll pass for now.
 }  Besides, it has already been seven years since DragonFly was forked

 }  of the driver API (locking stuff for SMP comes to mind).
 
      That's one of the significant differences between NetBSD and
 FreeBSD as well.  And, since the FreeBSD port of DAHDI is SMP ready,
 this is one of the things that would need to be worked on.

 }  
 }  Sure. I'll happily test the new state of things.
 
      Okay, the build is done and it has been committed.  I didn't
 bump the PKG_REVISION since there was no binary package to be
 changed.  If you could test it and let me know how well it works,
 that would be appreciated.
