I haven't the vaguest idea of the economics of the situation, from a cost standpoint. This might be insulting, I don't know, but 10 or 15 dollars to me, I'd order it. I'd expect it to be pretty stripped down, and not terribly useful to the general public type of thing. Sticking the latest CTM base in, at about 30 megs, would be kinda nice too, but I am really intrigued at looking the the CVS source. > > Jordan > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
