Hello,
Just for your information, we are working on a new release of the Virtual Switch \
package for Linux-ATM based on the latest official distribution 0.52. We hope to \
complete this task and make an announcement in about 2 weeks.
For Werner, would it be possible to include a pointer to this package on the \
Linux-ATM page? Not as part of the distribution but as an add-on so people will know \
it exist and won't have to dig on the mailing list for it. Tell me what you think.
- Ricardo
