As far as I know, tcpslice isn't in any of the tcpdump or libpcap releases, and that it's only in the tcpdump.org repository. 1.2a1 was as close to a release as I could find and I think that we can maintain the important patches in the port. Ideally if someone had the time and energy it could be tracked from the tcpdump.org respository in the base system, but that's more time and energy than I have. We could prefix the port with something to prevent confusion or remove it from the base all together. Scott On Mon, Apr 15, 2002 at 10:42:34AM -0700, Bruce A.
