	I am undoubtedly not the most qualified person to speak on this
subject, but in the interest of producing maximum confusion I will give
it a try.

	My understanding of ROS is that the "operating system" is
made up of several processes which handle various functions.  As an
example, there is a disk volume manager process, a file system manager
process, a tape driver process, etc.  The serial line IP/TCP code from
seismo is for the single kernel process used in 4.2BSD.  I suspect that
it would be possible to port this code to ROS, but it would require a
lot of work.  An additional problem results from the fact that ROS is
shipped as binary files without source code.  This would make it
impossible for a normal site to attempt the porting project.  I don't
know what Ridge policy is on giving outside organizations access to
source code so you would have to contact them directly.

	I hope this provides some information, at least why it isn't
likely to be down for awhile yet.
