- regardless of the reaons, those of us with
dreamcasts  just itching for an updated Linux kernel
will just have to wait...

- btw, it appears that while you can indeed, log into
the dreamcast via the coders cable using the release
from http://www.m17n.org/linux-sh/dreamcast/kernel,
you apparently cannot use it for anything else, such
as slattach for SLIP or pppd PPP... 

- we mere (non-developer) dreamcast mortals are still
stuck w/the m17n.org - all else is conjecture... the
serial cable is the only viable option (one would have
to be truly mad to pay for a broadband adapter)...

- it would be wonderful to have a working kernel and
release w/X with a working serial port... 

- otherwise, my dreamcast remains a toy...
