   Yes, I had it running as an RS232 ”terminal server” under NetBSD 3.<something>, so that people could access my vintage computers via the Internet from the other side of ”the puddle”. ssh was a problem, because new users’ connections would sometimes time out, before the negotiations had finished.

   Good news anyway. Maybe I should even try to install it on a Mac IIsi with 64 MB of Ram, just for the fun of it…
