How exactly does the system know which module works on a given system? Are these modules expected to test for platform compatibility by probing around in the module's _init(9E) function? Or are users supposed to determine which module is right for their system and install only that one? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
