TUX modules are user-space, so i certainly cannot help you in 'putting
MARS-NWE in the kernel'. While you (apparently) are trying to move server
applications into ring0, i agree with Andrea and i'm trying to move kernel
functionality out to user-space.

All i did was to inform you that the next release of TUX is imminent and
that you might want to take a look at the new code. You interpreted that
in a very interesting way. You are certainly free and welcome to take a
look at any code and documentation released, but as visible in the past
couple of email exchanges, our technical views about Linux networking
scalability differ in fundamental ways.
