100% correct, John.  The upgrade Chris is talking about is beyond me.  In fact,
I'm not sure what I'm missing here.  All I know is _most_ of the serious 
problems that were "correctable" were addressed in the 3.51m kernel.  We
have a lot to thank for that.  AT&T could have easily canned any efforts 
for supporting software after they MD'd [manufacturer discontinued] the product.
If it wasn't for a few dedicated people on the net, and good cooperation
from the 3B1-hackers at AT&T, we'd still be looking at the bugs in the
3.51a kernel and other utilities found within the FIXDISK 2.0.

Let's be thankful for that folks.

-Lenny
