Heh, I know that feeling :)

Yeah, that is actually a good point from Alan. And there are things that
KJD code does that I consider 'wrong' - see my previous recent emails on
'network purity'.
I believe it also changes the interface definitions, and needs a modified
libax25/apps/tools.
For what its worth, I did get quite far in getting it merged into a
2.5.29 tree. Got approximatley 50% of the rejects sorted, but most of
the remaining ones were the soundmodem, and scc drivers.
Unfortunatley, most of the remainder are in the core AX25 code, and
one reject in particular is 60K!
All the Best
Iain
