It is not available yet, but should be sometime in the early part of next year. The kernel which was to be known as 3.51b has been superceded by 3.51c. This is why we've been waiting so long for the next fixdisk set. 3.51b was nearly complete when some very esoteric, but relatively serious, problems were discovered, and 3.51b merged into the fixes comprising 3.51c. Some people have managed to get their hands on the 3.51c kernel (kernel only, no other fixes, of which there are several, as I understand it), but that has usually been accomplished by both screaming and yelling a lot, and knowing who to scream and yell at (a lot :-). Again, don't bother the hotline. They don't have any idea about this stuff. Information on the fixdisk will be posted as soon as more details are known, and once it's released. (Congratulations. You've been given a lot more information than the hotline has been given... :-) -- "The greatest minds in physics Robert J. Granvin were stumped- Tom Cruise, John National Information Systems, Inc.
