- ka9q has had support for the 550 for some time.
-
- i once asked Phil Karn if the rumor was true that the Netblazer kernel
- was based on ka9q.
-
- his responded something like "a much mutated version".
-
- if the motherboard has 550's on it, it would be rediculous(sp?) for
- telebit not to support them, especialy if the support was in the
- base code.
