I recall reading a post by the net-tools upstream developer who said he had no intention of halting development on net-tools and that he would continue to track kernel development and add new features as necessary to make sure that the programs continue working as expected. OTOH, I can't find a citation for this claim, and net-tools doesn't seem to have seen any upstream activity in quite some time. [1] noah [1] http://www.tazenda.demon.co.uk/phil/net-tools/
