I knew it was a bad idea when I did it, but I did it anyway. Call me a donkey
and pin on my tail. The Linux code *isn't* related to KA9Q, though a lot of
people have been running KA9Q on Linux for SLIP support. Well, it's an ill
wind that blows no good... at least I found out something I didn't know before.

And the rest of the article, especially the plea for peace, is still valid.
