From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@mit-mc> MDM710 is due out any day now. Why not call Irv and pose your question about the lack of source code to him? His phone number is (415)-948-2166. Anyone else who feels the same should call him too. He thinks that because all the configuration files are supplied it isn't necessary to release the source. --Keith

If he has included interrupt-driven tty and modem I/O for my machine in the current set of configuration files, then I'm all set and I don't need the source! Otherwise, I consider it a mistake. Ben

From: Dr. Terry Gray <gray@ucla-locus> Keith- As soon as I received your message I called Irv to cast my vote in favor of distributing source --but alas, no answer. To me, and I suspect, to many other tinkerers, having source is more important than having the code for free (although that's nice, too!) -Terry Gray

From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@mit-mc> Irv Hoff is a Pilot for United Airlines and is sometimes away for 3-4 days at a time. Keep trying on the phone and you'll eventually find him at home. --Keith
