mickey! the only man knowing whats going on with the ciss...
any infos when the ciss-driver will be released and working?

i'd provide a ssh-remote-console for my DL380 G4 for you, if
that would help. but i really think, you have the hardware
already. maybe no time... thats a problem of all really good
devs. the better you are, the less time you have... and even
the more things you want to go into...

sorry for this little provocation on the list, but if you
want to get the right answers you'll sometimes have to ask wrong
questions to render people talking to you. (i know, you know what
i mean....) and as all of us can see... IT WORKED.

my request from a few weeks ago was not even noticed.
too technical, no politics. no wonder there's no answer ;-)

thx to otto m. for the input regarding the dev-roadmaps. short
question: isn't openbsd too big and too much distributed to not
to have roadmaps? i'm just asking ;-) (easy, sean ;-)

br and greetz,
mdff...
