I don't know anything about an "sdla tty" unless it is in my post-Linus-prononucement queue, which I have yet to deal with. The current list is dated 3 June 2001 (I just noticed it wasn't up on www.lanana.org; I just fixed that.) It includes all registrations I had received up to Linus' "no new majors" pronouncement -- it should be included in both Linus' and your trees. http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices.txt -hpa -- at work, in private!
