Re: soundmodem and fedora c3

[Jeff Camp <jcamp2@cox.net>]

You're right.  I went through my original .config and it didn't have any 
hamradio support enabled.  I must have turned it on when I went to set 
the CONFIG_MKISS support.

At any rate, this was a difference I noticed moving from RedHat 9 to 
Fedora C3.

73,
Jeff
