Some areas, especially in Asian countries, needs expensive connection fee for international connection as delphij pointed out. Also, portsnap is useful in a local network as CVSup is if the server-side program is available, IMHO. So, I would like the server-side bits to be imported if portsnap will be in the base system. -- | Hiroki SATO ----Security_Multipart(Sun_Aug__7_21_12_40_2005_478)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBC9fq6TyzT2CeTzy0RAnYuAKCQk7AyRUQsjOkglzaiTavjD3XRXQCgqu8z O1+v5s+e6ahfR0UaQfIiHdI= =k9hs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Sun_Aug__7_21_12_40_2005_478)----
