I might be plain wrong & casting asparagus about my understanding of the n_tty & it might not drop packets in the latest kernel. If I'm wrong about n_tty.c & being stupid thinking the n_tty layer drops packets please inform me & tell me why it doesn't. Is whats in n_tty bulletproof if used properly. -- best regards, D.J. Barrow
