    ----I would think so, but, as I wrote earlier, testing has been done
    only on 4.8, and not yet on 4.9.

    ----Only CLI is provided as of now, but you can expect a new and
    mproved version of 3dm in the Feb/March timeframe.

    Thanks,

    I was wondering about 3dmd support too, especially on FreeBSD 5.x.

    The last time I tried it, on a 5.1-Release box, you had to apply a
    binary patch to make it work, as described in this old message from the
    freebsd-current list.

    http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1035474+0+archive/2003/free
    bsd-current/20030601.freebsd-current

    It's kind of an ugly process to have to go through.
