Re: LiS and Linux 2.6 (SuSE 9.1 and SuSE 9.2)

brian_bidulock,

Thanks... We've had it working on SuSE 9.1, 9.2, SuSE EL 9 and RHEL4
plus the 64 bit flavors of the above for a couple of months now.  I
posted a couple of lists of the things that I had to change to get
things working for these platforms.  I'm sure that they are still in
the archives.

What did you do to fix the problems with syscall interface for 64 bit
platforms?  I mentioned in one of my lists that I had to remove all
of those syscalls for 64 bit builds because you cannot call system
calls from within the kernel on 64 bit platforms, it just panics or
freezes the machine.

I never released all of the changes that we at Adax did to LiS 2.18
because I still have not had a chance to go back and fix the ldl
driver which was broken by these changes.

What ever happened with your linux Fast-STREAMS.  Did you ever
release that publicly, or is it only available for purchase?

thanks for the new release, looking forward to see it.
