Re: [openss7] BSD vs. STREAMS

Greg,

I haven't checked STREAMS availability for the *BSDs.  I might
be back to BSD to get a FreeBSD port working, but I've worked
with the BSDs before and they have a far better defined and
separated protocol modules within the kernel than Linux.  Linux
is BSD-compatible on the exterior, but nowhere near compatible
in internal kernel structures.  I was also wondering whether to
implement on FreeBSD first (instead of Linux), and that would
be my first choice for a FreeBSD implementation.

I'll go checking for a *BSD STREAMS implementation...

Anyone know of one?
