I'm running ifmail and FEddi on Debian 1.2 (kernel 2.0.27).

I'm not yet up to speed on inbound calls; I only use ifcico
to mail packets created in FEddi.
I generally reboot to dos 15 mins before ZMH, listen on the
port until my hub polls me, and then go back to Linux after
ZMH is over. I'd very much like to get the mgetty stuff
configured for ifcico; I just haven't had the time.
