*Stimmt; ich hatte vergessen, mich zu melden. Es fand
*eigentlich niemand, dass die Aenderungen gegenueber 2.0
*so relevant sind, dass ein neuer Test zu rechtfertigen
*ist (machen wir auch bei anderen Betriebssystemen
*nicht). 
*
*Das soll nicht heissen, dass wir nichts zu BSD machen
*wollen. Ein Erfahrungsbericht ueber Router-Einsatz o.ae.
*waere vielleicht sinnvoller.

in english:

nobody in the redaction conference (i hope there's such a word in english :-)
found that the changes of 2.1 against 2.0 are relevant to make a new article
(we don't do it for other systems too)

would eventually better to make an article about using it as a router

:-(
