Hello again good people!

I don't know if this is exactly a NetBSD question,...

I wonder, can I read/write to RAM, like I do a file? I
am so dense, I don't know how to do this easily. What
exactly is /dev/mem ? 

When I do a "cat /dev/mem" the output is way larger
than RAM I think.

My problem consists of the following:

I have two applications, one receiver and one sender.
They are connected through a raw AAL5 connection,
using sockets. I want to put this to the test, but my
disks are too slow (I think). Receiver can't write the
data arriving, to its disk fast enough to keep up with
the network. This is at least what I believe.

Is there any way I can open and write to RAM like I do
a file, that way I eliminate the disk as a source of
noise. I can run as root, if needed.

I would like to do something like fd =
open("RAM",O_WRONLY|O_CREAT,0666);

Can I swing this? Any help much appreciated. 

Cheers!
