Request for a new major character device number

[Thomas Wintergerst]

Hi all,

I need an "official" major device number for the CAPI subsystem for 
*BSD. The file "/usr/src/sys/conf/majors" states that I should contact 
this list to obtain a reserved major device number. The device number 
should be useable in 5.0-RELEASE and earlier releases.

As You may have noticed by watching the the mailing list 
"freebsd-isdn at freebsd.org" I wrote a package for CAPI support for 
FreeBSD. For those not familiar with this term: CAPI is the "Common ISDN 
API", the standard interface to communicate over ISDN with ISDN boards.

The device number is needed to link the kernel CAPI manager and its 
attached device drivers with userspace applications.

Maybe Hellmuth Michaelis, maintainer of I4B, already sent out this 
request. I am in contact with him to integrate the CAPI subsystem into 
"current".
