To add to Steve's message, I will quote the copyright notice on 1.2.4 DPT driver: .... * This is a proprietary, unpublished source code. No publishing, copying, * distribution or use permission is granted to anyone. * * If you want to use this product in any way, please contact the author by * sending email to shimon@i-connect.net .... The 1.2.4 driver (as you can clearly see is NOT in the public domain! Nor is it something you should grab, use without permission on an experimental version of the O/S, mess up something, complain about and recive much sympathy. I posted it on my personal machine as a means for experimenters who are generous and gracious enough to assist me in debugging it. --- Sincerely Yours, (Sent on 05-Sep-97, 21:49:22 by XF-Mail) Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.643.5559, Emergency: 503.799.2313
