Hallo Alan!   
      
    AI> So it did. My laptop running slackware current just went from 4.14.78 to   
   4.19.   
      
   Whoa!  That doesn't happen often.  Usually they wait a few minor versions   
   before switching.  Speaking of which the x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu host is   
   flying;   
      
   -={ ':r !uname -a' starts }=-   
   Linux mikey 4.19.0 #1 SMP Tue Oct 23 16:44:16 UTC 2018 x86_64 Intel(R)   
   Atom(TM) CPU C2758 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux   
   -={ ':r !uname -a' ends }=-   
      
   Whereas on this machine, which is the wireless hostapd and fidonet point;   
      
   -={ ':r !uname -a' starts }=-   
   Linux lilmikey 4.17.13 #1 SMP Mon Aug 6 19:07:48 UTC 2018 x86_64 Intel(R)   
   Atom(TM) CPU N2800 @ 1.86GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux   
   -={ ':r !uname -a' ends }=-   
      
   I tend to be more conservative on the x86_64-bonnell-linux-gnu just to keep a   
   couple of my neighbours happy.   
      
    AI> Right on top of the world.. :)   
      
   We're just over half way there and at the western edge.   
      
   Het leven is goed,
