I see the importance of getting bugfixes to recent kernels on mail. But
I hereby ask politely to send _long_ e-mails (such as this patch, 1792 lines)
in a different way. Announcements themselves should go to this list, but the
code itself should be available for download on user request. For security
and authenticity it should be PGP-signed. If there is a problem with no-ftp-
diskpace-available, we will provide it here from local ressources.

While working off-campus I receive mail behind a 64kbps ISDN line, paying for
TelCo charges and/or byte transfer. [Despite other rumors DEUTSCHE TELEKOM is
not one of the cheapest TelCo providers.]

Thanks, andreas
