As I'm porting the stuff now, most of the patches are minor. The (SUN) C
compiler is a lot more picky about types, so mostly porting means adding casts
here and there. Also the Configuration script needs work. Only one problem
left, and I'm busy with it. I'll send the patches to cap@munnari soon
(hope this week, otherwise next week).

That must be investigated (I haven't looked into that yet). IPTalk support
first!
