Re: [LARTC] Questions about IMQ's stability

[Andre Correa <andre.correa@pobox.com>]

Hi Jason, right now I don't think anybody can assure stability on IMQ. 
My experience is that IMQ works fine in my enviroment that is a 2.4.23 
PPPoE concentrator with ~70 users... It is up and running for more then 
a month without any problems.

What I would suggest you is to make some stability tests in a lab before 
putting it into production...

What kernel version will you use? It seens that 2.4.23 is the best bet 
for now.

IMQ has being unmaintained but there is a groups of people trying to get 
it on its way again. You can reach the brand new group at: 
http://www.linuximq.net ... There is not much new things yet, the work 
is just starting, but you, and everybody else, is more then welcome to 
join us there and share your results and needs.

tks and good luck

Andre Correa
