Then even if we don't adopt them into the tree at some point (I don't know what the trade-offs are here) then at least they'll be *documented* changes, and the nice tree-structured doc that John is putting together would provide a quick and convenient way of finding them (just make a uucp chapter if there isn't already). > Now the uucp box is running with an EISA version 3c509/P60 and FreeBSD. > The modem lights just keep flashing and only pause infrequently. Very nice. > So the SYSV era is over for me.....thanks to the FreeBSD guys - and thanks > Ian too!! You're entirely welcome! Testimonials like this (in contrast to the usual "It doesn't work!!" messages we get) are always nice to get! :) Jordan
