It's questionable if they can seperate the Linux 2.2 TCP/IP stack from our
pfinet, which uses the same code. But there is not enough information on
their site to figure it out. Also, I don't know how they find out the
uptime, I'd like to know so I can make sure they can do this correctly with
the Hurd.
I don't know of any public server, but I could probably set one up for them
and for a constrained time frame. But I expect that someone else will be
able to give them a better opportunity.
If we can make non-invasive changes in pfinet to help the detection of the
OS, I would not object against applying them, as long as they are very
small, simple and don't have any effect on the normal operation.
Thanks,
Marcus
