I do follow RELENG_4. Unfortunately I'm currently in the process of moving to a new flat, so I have zero time for testing right now. > I will probably merge some of the actual device drivers as well, though > I have > limited resources for testing them.. Maybe my USB modem will work one day. For the time being I'm using a good old serial (RS232) modem (fortunately my notebook still has an RS232 serial port). I'll test it as soon as I have the time, and report the results. Thanks again for your work, it's really appreciated!

"Python tricks" is a tough one, cuz the language is so clean. E.g., C makes an art of confusing pointers with arrays and strings, which leads to lotsa neat pointer tricks; APL mistakes everything for an array, leading to neat one-liners; and Perl confuses everything period, making each line a joyous adventure . -- Tim Peters
