I'm not sure where this silly rumour came from (I have a couple of nasty
suspicions...) but the AX.25 code is alive and well. The other contributors
to the code have no say in things anyway - they being Regents Of UCB and
the code being used in accordance with the berkeley license.

I'd wait till I send an announcement for the next release before you
go fetch int now sunacm is back on the net. The new release has documentation
(of sorts), and usable utilities. In fact WAMPES is now only used on my
system as a debugger 8-).

Alan,

I heard a rumour that you were forced to quietly withdraw this software. I
assume the original author(s) of the software had something to do with this.
Twice I have sent you mail asking about it, and I haven't gotten an answer.
Since you don't seem the type to do ignore people's mail, I assume you're
under duress.
