    Sounds good.. Might make ISDN easier..

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PLEASE! Bad devices
    preety much halt the computer.

    ^^^^ The compression patch has been out a long time, and with a little
    polishing (the kind you get by having it official) it should be more then
    ready for primetime.. Please consider it. This is one of the features we
    could really brag about.

    ACLs would be nice, I've never seen/tried any acl
    patches so I cant say I personally support them..

    Dont we have this already (masq?) or is there a true NAT that somehow
    differs from masq..

    Thats in the kernel currently..

    o Quota overhall, I've heard people saying one is needed.. I use quotas
    on one of my 2.0 boxes.. It works nice, if it's needs an overhaul for 2.1
    then please... :)
