If you can do that, I for one would be greatly appreciative. I've been running with my Stallion board in production since that PR was submitted, and have not been able (well, have not felt safe) to update the system (as we're using it heavily for faxing), so it's still at 4.1.1. Also, due to the recent purchase of my division (flipdog.com) from WhizBang! Labs, I'm not sure how much longer that tarball is going to stay on www.whizbang.com. I'd really like someone to "do the right thing" with the stallion driver, but unfortunately, for me it was a do or die situation (we had bought the stallion board before discovering that the supplied driver was old old old, and then had to make it work). There is currently no pressure for me to fix the PR to make it more "acceptable" :-) as the server *is* running and pumping out faxes like there is no tomorrow. -jan- -- Jan L.
