I thought there might have been a thread on this in the relatively recent past, but a quick search of -arch and -hackers didn't turn anything up. It appears to me that this code hasn't really been maintained since 1997 [1]. Moreoever, it isn't really the kind of software that one expects to be tied into the base system. Comments on its removal? Assuming anyone is actually interested in the code, it can be moved to the Ports Collection. Cheers, -- Jacques A. Vidrine http://www.nectar.cc/ NTT/Verio SME .
