I'm afraid I don't understand what you are talking about.

My post was referring to the email from Chanakya Open Source 
Technologies. If my tone seemed negative, it was because I have the 
suspicion that they are looking for money for their services, and not 
offering to volunteer. If I am wrong, and COST is actually volunteering 
its services for free, then I hereby apologise.

I'm not sure why you were directed to the freebsd-doc list for help, 
because freebsd-doc tends to be for postings about documentation issues 
that need to be addressed. If you would like help with FreeBSD technical 
problems, an excellent place to start is the Usenet group:

    comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc

or the freebsd-questions mailing list.

Trust me, 90% of the people are friendly. In fact, most are more 
friendly than you'll find on most other groups. I am not a good example, 
as I have grown tired and cynical over my years.
