Hi Bert - 

And thanks for asking, I appreciate it.  I'll offer some feedback. I have
a problem with routing that is driving me crazy.  I am not able to make a 
Linux 2.4 kernel (Red Hat V7.1) route ICMP Echo REPLY packets back to the
original PINGer.  After studying the HOWTO and finding this list, I spent 
a bunch of time writing up the problem, drew up a really bad ASCII art 
picture and submitted the problem.  It turned out, the list wraps the text, 
so that totally messed up the ASCII part picture I drew.

But then nobody even replied telling me my ASCII art was bad.  In fact,
nobody even replied at all, other than the automated replies from the list
system.

And that goes to a core issue for me - I really want to use these nifty 
advanced routing capabilities with my customers, and I am willing to
experiment and learn, but I need to know there really is a community out 
there to help with issues before I trust this stuff.  

I know everyone who posts to this list is volunteering time and not getting
paid, and I really appreciate any help I can get on my issues.  And since I
asked for help, I also tried to help a couple other folks as best as I knew
how.  After all, fair is fair.  But if I can't get answers to my basic 
questions here, I need to find answers somewhere else.

thanks

- Greg Scott

Hi all 803 list members!

This is your list maintainer & HOWTO author speaking. I've recently noted a
lot of people leaving the list (although a lot of people have also been
joining) - is anything wrong? I don't actually follow the list at all times,
please let me know of any problems.

Since posting has been restricted to members only, a lot of spam has been
blocked which is good. However, a lot of bonafide mail has also been blocked
because people aren't posting from the address they subscribed from. And I
know for a fact that I lost one modification request for somebody that
moved. If this is you, please resend.

In other news, I added a section on HTB,
http://ds9a.nl/2.4Routing/HOWTO//cvs/2.4routing/output/2.4routing-10.html#ss
10.2
which you should read if you thing CBQ is complicated. And I added a link to
docum.org, which you should visit.

You should also visit http://www.linux-kongress.de - As you can see from the
program http://www.linux-kongress.de/program.html a lot of cool people will
be there. And I'll be there too, and even give a lecture.

Hope to meet you there!

Regards,

bert
