I HAVE NOT INSTALLED, TESTED OR even >read the code, so good luck. I did try installing it last summer/fall under 2.0.1 (I don't think we were running 2.0.2, or if it even existed at that point.) We didn't have two Unix boxes there at the time we tested it, so I took a chance and dug up 'AmigaTCP' [a KA9Q port] and tried to get things going. [This was across two T2500s] It took a bit of effort to get the Amiga side up, and I can't say what exactly happened on fts1, but apparently the kernel took a panic and trashed the root partition. Joy... I later heard a rumour that AmigaTCP had a habit of causing kernel panics on the remote machine, but I suspect that it was my own story coming back to me :-) We haven't tried since, but do intend to. -- :!mcr!: | < political commentary currently undergoing Senate > Michael Richardson | < committee review.
