I must fully agree here. Unfortunately, nobody wants to implement FlexNet
under Linux. The FlexNet people like Win32 even more (I am sure they will
soon have a Win2000 version of Flexnet available since a lot of German
computer magazines are convinced that Win2000 is the most stable OS ever.).
And for Linux: Due to the lack of information about how FlexNet in the low
level stage really works and due to the lack if interest among the gurus to
implement some working FlexNet solution (everybody seems to be more
interested in things like APRS and sattrack) there will be no Linux FlexNet
subsystem available in the near future.
In my opinion, it is a shame having to switch from Linux to Bill's crap
simply to have a chance to get a FlexNet compatible station running :( .
Just sad about this,
Gerd
