I've got a feeling, it was the same as one already in there...

Hmm.. Where's the CVS? I can't seem to find anything except a snapshot from the
sourceforge pages...

Umm... Usually everything hangs on the USB bus... modem_run is still there, pppd
is still there... I can sometimes run modem_run again if I rmmod the usb
drivers... Last time it didn't, but I was in a hurry... Usually it's just a case
of re-running my startup script (Which removes it all then puts it all back).

OK. Cool. This might fix my problem. Last time I asked, noone had seen it, and I
didn't get too far into debugging it (Than somewhere in the AAL code) when I ran
out of time... Damn i'd like some more...

Where the CVS located? And how do I get access? (I know there used to be
instructtions somewhere, but I can't find them today).
