But please be more specific than 'everything I've seen from TimeSys is crap, I have talked to some of their clients who had $FOO problem'.

I could not agree more. Your original post had a strong ad hominem flavor, which was my objection. Of course you are free to attack anything at any time, on its technical merits, this is what engineers do. I am interested in RT as well, I did not mean to imply that I don't find it a valid topic for discussion on LKML, but you have to admit that your post bordered on a troll. Lee
