I've built a number of kernels (I am a wizzard at overlays!!)  I have
noticed the fragility of the networking and hoped to actually fix it.
I have been thinking of working on an entirely new release with Y2K
fixes and bug fixes.  I also wanted to go over the code for building
install sets.  be nice if you could do it with VTServer.

I am packing up the last of my RL's (and boxes of disk packs) to give
away.  Have to do a lot of cleaning up and don't plan on keeping as
much real hardware as I have in the past.

I didn't look at the script as I wasn't overly interested but I figured
if it was pure shell it shold have worked under BASH even on VMS.
