There's some folks who are intensely interested in the NDS client on Linux.
I've been getting the URL uipdates from the Netware mailing list on
www.calderasystems.com, however, folks are having trouble getting at the
source code for some reason. What's the current URL for the active sources?
I had been hitting the patches area on calderasystems.com, but the most
recent mailing has changed. Let all of us on the kernel list know cause
there seems to be a lot of interest in this.
Please Advise.
Your friend,
Jeff
