I beg to differ with the comment on Tnos being totally unstable.Tnos throws
violent wobblies if faced with protocol errors from outside, ie from FBB, if
you relegate tnos to just dealing with ip protocols its very stable, and
makes a very good smtp. nntp and convers server, all compressed., mine now
stays up for more than a week at a time without wobblies !

JNOS and TNOS should also get LIBZ support, and we really
should
phase out LZW support. It's bad! Way bad!
