The current HBTCP v1.2 will work with ISC 2.0.2 90%.  The only things
that I have seen that don't work are the UDP time services and the
SLIP.  Seems that ISC disagrees with me on the UDP stuff (Dick are you
there?) but I have found that it doesn't.  The SLIP not working is
spelled out in the manual on page 1 or 2.  Other than that I have
found it to be both faster and more reliable than the version 1.0 (or
whatever it was).

Sorry but no.
