- I thought PPP was in the latest one, have to check my sources. Anyway, the
- latest one (921229.tar.Z) has been ported to Linux.
-
- No "real" NOS versions run under Linux. Yet. (I'm working on it, but it is
- NOT a simple job to port it from DOS: NOS hits the hardware in just about
- every way a program can do so.)

- I think everyone who comes up with a NOS modification gratuitously rewrites
- stuff. :-) I tried to move stuff between JNOS and WAMPES with no success
- whatsoever. If I had the disk space under DOS at the moment I might try it
- with PA0GRI/KB7YW and either of the others just to see what would happen.
