Re: sound in NetBSD/Amiga

[Jose Alburquerque <joselito%becky.smartec.com@localhost>]

Hi.  I recently posted a message asking about sound.  Recently my provider
changed the mail server name, causing me to lose a lot of "precious"
e-mail.  If any of you replied, could you please (if possible) re-send the
message to this new address?  It is my personal home machine, and I'm sure
I should get it there without any problems.  If not, I'll just check the
mail logs.  Thanks. 

-Jose
