This is a rather dangerous generalization that I must take objection
to. While it IS true that Bill Jolitz (and Lynne as well, so it's
at LEAST *2* people) is the major guiding force behind this project,
I highly doubt it would be even nearly as advanced as it is today
without the continual enhancements that are coming out weekly,
such as Julians SCSI Code, Holger Veit's codrv package, and similar
stuff that my numb mind just isn't registering on...
One might want to debate on the merits of the degree of Communiation
between the Jolitz's and the Usenet community, but it's HARDLY a
single-man show.

I ran a 14,4 SLIP connection under 386bsd with 0.2.3 applied,
and was in such bliss that it was a horribly sad day when I sold
my machine. Good thing the new one comes in a couple of weeks.
Toodlepip!
