I'm a Republican, not a communist....sorry. How much of your
employers time do you waste/spend on other projects (like FreeBSD). I'd
say you're wasting their time writing this.

If your documentation (ie the serial line setup stuff)  wasn't a year out of
date....
I wouldnt have to ask questions at all.

I only insult as a result of insults. You get more of your share 'cause you're
a rude guy who has yet to gain my respect by saying anything worthwhile.

Quit your job and work on it full time Nate...then you can talk. Otherwise
you have no perspective. I don't demand anything...I just asked if something
worked or not and whether I should use something else. Sorry that you took
it as an insult. The question had nothing to do with YOU, so your comments
here were uncalled for....you're the one throwing a fit.

PS: Thanks to all of you who've sent me supportive messages for my
"contributions". Sorry about all of the babies on the list.
