Once Upon A Time I tried to keep TNOS patched up for FreeBSD but its roots as a monolithic DOS program plus its prime maintainer being a Linux zelot, the linuxisms were too much for too little. 7 years ago I was convinced that if one were to write an AX.25 daemon to speak KISS to TNC(s) and behave much like inetd then everything else would be darn near easy to write Unix-style one process per connection. Wasn't interested enough to actually do it. Spent my time trying to make TNOS work and then burned out. Sources to the F6-whatshiscall (from France) BBS were once available. Initially DOS. Re-written and properly ported to Linux but less Linuxisms than TNOS when I briefly looked. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
