Roeland: Please note that GateD is not publically funded. It is not received any money since GateD transferred to Merit in September of 1996. Please see my earlier message as to the other facts. Again, commercial companies ("money" grubbing" just like yours) are paying to enhance the good of the Internet. I would appreciate your getting your facts straight rather than continue to rave incorrectly. You are welcome to complain but ***please*** stop next time and get your facts straight. We have a low enough signal to noise ratio on nanog without any additions. Many of our Gold member corporations want to try to provide "entry" level ISP memberships. We still are considering if we can continue to support (***without NSF funding) the changes you want so your "3.5.9" will work for linux and other OS. So, please complain on. It's a free country and a free internet. However, please.. please check your facts.

Further, if I have run-rime problems I may point legal fingers that way, as well. Flemming *has* a point, since GateD is NSF funded, it shouldn't be for-profit. I guarantee that my tax dollars are already paying for it. Why should I pay extra? ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.
