Guess I should try not to do all my list mail at the end of the day.
Wanted to say 2.0, but I first ran 2.1.0 so... tell me to go sleep next
time.  8-)

The best bet is to try a large ping and see what happens.  One machine here
that was on 2.1.7 would most likely have died, as it has some problems with
portmap after an upgrade, which is why I wiped it clean for 2.2.1.

Can't wait till we have a network card in our HP4.  ;-)
