More out of curiosity than directly related to this question, Michael's
running a laptop, I've got an old Toshiba 420CDT that I run as
a router (modem and PCMCIA ethernet card), running very well with
2.7, has anyone any success stories with this box and 2.8?  I
want the IPv6 resolver libraries, but the box is my link, and I
don't have a spare to test 2.8 on.
