hi.. i subscribed to this mailing list some days ago.. no bad move i
guess....
we're using linux here, because msdos sucks anyway for tcp/ip and can't
really run as a server in the internet.. so.. some comments ;)

> - updated networking code.. Some ipv6 defines, but no ipv6
desperately waiting for some IPX functions.. NFS is slow as hell.. check
this out:
copying a 700k file from the network to the linux pc: 4-5 seconds
--------- " " --------- the linux pc to the network: 6 minutes

that's strange, isn't it.. well.. i gotta say that our nfs server is NOT
the novell network server.. it's another pc running under os/2...
(nfs for netware = 5000 bucks ;)

> - fixed arp that didn't work for some addresses.
yep, didn't work... glad to hear that

i've never had ANY stability problems with ANY linux kernel (and i'm
running 1.3.20 now...). keep up the good work..

p.s.: i'd really love to code on this too.. but i don't have a clue about
coding for gcc and linux :(
