I disagree. All Livingston products run ComOS. OSPF will be a big topic of
discussion I'm sure as soon as 3.5 is released for all other platforms that
there will be A LOT of useful info. To really fragment the list properly,
we should have a number of distinct lists:

portmaster-users-irx
portmaster-users-or
portmaster-users-pm11
portmaster-users-pm2
portmaster-users-pm3

Or to REALLY fragment how about:

portmaster-users-irx111
portmaster-users-irx112
portmaster-users-irx114
portmaster-users-or-u
portmaster-users-or-st
portmaster-users-or-ls
portmaster-users-or-hs
portmaster-users-pm25
portmaster-users-pm2
portmaster-users-pm2e10
portmaster-users-pm2e20
portmaster-users-pm2e30
portmaster-users-pm2e10R
portmaster-users-pm2e20R
portmaster-users-pm2e30R
portmaster-users-pm3-1pri
portmaster-users-pm3-2pri
portmaster-users-pm3-1pri-8modems
portmaster-users-pm3-1pri-16modems

Oh and let's not forget the European Users...

portmaster-users-pm3-1priE1-10modems
portmaster-users-pm3-1priE1-20modems

Anyway... I think I've made my point... We all read things that don't
pertain to us, however... overall I believe that the s/n ratio on this list
is VERY good. Keep it the way it is! Thanks for listening.
