Nice serial server, anyone working for serial support on USB ?
Have an 8 port and could help getting support for it or testing
drivers.
If you are or someone else is willing to write a driver under NDA I can

I think openbsd asks users to email them the output of 'dmesg',
so they can tell which drivers are really of interest to the
greatest number of their users. Seems like a reasonable idea.

Hi,
I've just noticed that (on STABLE, at least) it doesn't seem possible
to run an NFS server on a machine, and have it service requests from
clients talking to anything other than the base address.
For example, if I
