The weakest point is IMHO the driver itself, which is orphaned and seeks a maintainer. However, if `lft' works better in some respects than `ft(8)', why don't you commit it to the tree? I understand that we can't drop the old utility since both are incompatible, but nobody says we can't have two. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
