Right... But, I don't think the company is going to recompile under NetBSD
unless they've got a gun held to their collective head, whereas they do have
something that works under FreeBSD 2.2.1, and they'll soon have something
that works under FreeBSD 3.0.

I'm going to try to do some testing to see how well we work under NetBSD.
I'm really hoping it works well. Obviously, I want my company to officially
support our devices under NetBSD, as that will be good for NetBSD. (It can't
hurt, at any rate.)

Later... (And thanks for the info.)
