Please feel free to drop me (or Harti, or whomever) netatm patches to bring in. I will move ahead with disconnecting netatm (which primarily means not building it in LINT at this point), and merge my changes. Let me know if I can be of any use in working out issues in getting netatm updated with respect to the sockets side of the house. Robert N M Watson
