I would like to add my vote for getting 2.6.13 on the track and moving out there. There are some nice patches for 2.6.13/2.6.14 that improve the performance of USB ACM serial devices (which currently can't handle much more than about 64K baud) that would allow me to bring some USB ISDN modems on-line. But the patch fails against the 2.6.12 1447 source rpm and the current 2.6.13 kernel in development gets you a fast ticket to dependency hell. Building the 2.6.13 rpm's for FC4 isn't much better (about a half a dozen dependencies, like kudzu). It may not be too much longer before 2.6.14 is out (and may, with luck, incorporate those USB patches, plus the equivalent for USB serial other than ACM). I hope we'll see something before then. But then we'll be clamoring for the 2.6.14 stuff... > -- > ============================= Joe Christy ============================== > ------------------ http://public.xdi.org/=joe.christy ------------------ > == If I can save you any time, give it to me, I'll keep it with mine. == Mike -- Michael H.
