Bits are virtual currency for this site, similar to Linden dollars on Second Life and other virtual worlds (but far less developed at this time).

Your Bits increase by participating in the forums, for example by posting, creating a thread, voting on a poll, being a moderator or admin, etc. I will post the details on Bits crediting soon.

You can also get Bits from other forum members who give them to you, for example, if someone likes your reply they can give you Bits. You can give Bits to others for any reason.

You can can also spend your Bits on lottery tickets and try to win jackpots and gain more Bits.

In the future, can also spend your Bits on tangible goods and services on this site. For example, you should be able to pay Bits to the Central Bank to have infractions removed, or pay Bits for special other services. More on this later. This is an uncharted "new economy" so be creative. If you have questions, just ask, we will make up an answer if we don't have one :-)

For now, I encourge you to have fun with your Bits and give them to your friends for any reason you choose :-)

NAME
sbni -- Granch SBNI12 leased line modem driver SYNOPSIS
device sbni DESCRIPTION
The sbni driver provides support for leased line modems of following models: o SBNI12-02, SBNI12D-02 o SBNI12-04, SBNI12D-04 o SBNI12-05, SBNI12D-05, ISA and PCI o SBNI12-10, SBNI12D-10, ISA and PCI and a kit for data link over a voice band: o SBNI12-11, SBNI12D-11, ISA and PCI. In addition to the standard port and IRQ specifications, the sbni driver also supports a number of flags which can set baud rate, receive level, and low three bytes of Ethernet MAC-address (high three are always 00:ff:01), because Granch modems are presented to the system as Ethernet-like network cards. The high byte of the flags is a bit field, it is used to specify SBNI adapter receive level/baud rate: Bits 0-3: receive level (0x00..0x0f) Bits 4-5: baud rate number: 00 - 0 baud rate (2Mb in fast mode/500kb in slow) 01 - 1 baud rate (1Mb/250kb) 10 - 2 baud rate (500kb/125kb) 11 - 3 baud rate (250kb/62.5kb) Bit 6: use fixed receive level if bit 6 is set then receive level will be set according to bits 0-3 value, otherwise receive level will be autodetected Bit 7: use fixed baud rate if bit 7 is set then baud rate will be set according to bits 4-5 value, otherwise baud rate is set to 2Mb FILES
The sources for the driver reside in: /sys/dev/sbni/if_sbni.c /sys/dev/sbni/if_sbnireg.h /sys/dev/sbni/if_sbnivar.h SEE ALSO
arp(4), netintro(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY
The sbni device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6. AUTHORS
