- As I'm porting the stuff now, most of the patches are minor. The (SUN) C
- compiler is a lot more picky about types, so mostly porting means adding casts
- here and there. Also the Configuration script needs work. Only one problem
- left, and I'm busy with it. I'll send the patches to cap@munnari soon
- (hope this week, otherwise next week).

- That must be investigated (I haven't looked into that yet). IPTalk support
- first!
