Just received this mail from Riley, it is one amongst several delayed for
up to 12 months or so. I guess that somewhere midway between Alpha
Centauri (? & sp) and here there is an email reflector by the name of
cuckoo :-)
I include the hjeaders for interest.
Did anybody else get them?
Supplementary Question:
Has anybody produced RPMS (I'm using Mandrake 5.1/2.2.13) for the whole
AX25 system, particularly related to Baycom USCC cards?
