Why do we need the "go-ahead" from USL ?????
Net-2 is still available from most FTP sites which had it previously. If
anything then USL might hassle those sites. {Free,Net}BSD have evolved
so far from the original Net-2 that USL couldn't get a handle at us anyway.
What could they do anyway - take away my PC ?
If USL can hassle US FTP sites. Why don't we just set up a site outside of
the US ?
Does anybody (apart from USL) know what bits of Net-2 they claim is theirs ?
If yes please let us know. A few days and we should be able to rewrite the
few routines.

How close is 1.1-BETA and 1.1 ? Are there patches to bring 1.1-BETA to 1.1 ?
If yes how do I get them ?
