What do I have to do to get this tested and feedback from a few
of you???
It is *NOT* going to go into 2.0.5 unless I here from at least 2 people
that are using this on real networks!!! So far the only person I
have heard from is Bruce Evans, and he even said that his network is
such a toy that he does not consider it any kind of sanity check.
