[JDEV] FreeBSD and MIO

[Dennis Noordsij]

On a note about MIO, I recall reading somewhere it would require all 
components to be modules linked into jabber? For me the power of jabber is 
being able to run all these parts on different systems and have them talk 
over TCP/IP. I assume my JSM will be too busy routing messages to also have 
all the transports and components running.

Apologies if this has been discussed already and I missed it :-)

Regards,
Dennis
