Why is it that Distribution vendors just arbiatarily remove software just
when I need to use it.

Take getty_ps, which I hapenned to need.  This is perhaps the best getty for
serial terminal (i.e. non-modem) use and is *very* easy to set up (just add
entry to /etc/inittab, init q, et voilla).  Does RH7.1 include it?  Does it
hell!

Fortunately I managed to find the RedHat 7.0 copy of it.  And if I hadn't
been able to find that then I'm sure I would have come across the source
sooner or later (oddly enough, not on freshmeat).

So having got getty_ps, I now have a PPP connection at 115200 bps from my
palmpilot to my linux box :-)  Combine that with Top Gun SSH and the world
is my oyster...or something.

J. (*so* bored).
