[svlug] kernel information

[Karl F. Larsen]

	My Internet required pppd and all Ham Radio applications work
great with kernel 2.0.36 but both FAIL when kernel 2.2.3 is used. Now I am
pleased your applications work. But please don't call me wrong because my
applications do not work!

	Therefore I and Red Hat and... contend that 2.2.x is not stable.
