Thanks, Arno:
This is really great!
I've got Slackware (3.5, 3.6, 3.9 & 4.0)
kernels 2.0.34, .35, .36, .37pre10 & 2.2.6.
I am currently installing 2.0.37pre10 in a system that
has a MFJ1270, KPC-4, & DRSI-type2 (TNC-2 clone, dual-port, & z8530),
so your information 'fits me to a T' :-)
Regards, Chuck
