There are several things I want to work on when I get back onto a 'real
network' next week ... Matt @ Dragonfly has asked for some 'network
detection' code to be added, to check if there is even a network
connected, before he'll add it to there base system ... and someone else
suggested adding code similar to postfix's port to have *it* prompt and
auto-add the appropriate lines to /etc/periodic.conf ...
Plus, of course, next phase being to try and get a simple email system in
place as described by Max for those 'hard to reach places' ...
But, again, those are all extensions to, and don't affect the backend ...
the changes discussed as needing to be worked on will not cause problems
for v3.x or newer clients ...
