	IMO, for -CURRENT, we should turn on all possible debugging by 
default in the kernel.  Then, we should make it as easy as possible 
to capture and report the kind of trace information we need to help 
locate and fix the problem.

	Hmm.  I was thinking that I needed just one Cyclades terminal 
server box for my old Sun SPARC 5 clone (break-safe, of course). 
Now, I'm thinking that I'll need a multi-port model, which I can also 
connect to the Compaq Armada 4131T that I'll be running -DP2 on, and 
given all the network problems I've had lately, I may need to also 
connect it to the cisco ISDN/Ethernet router....
