This is snapshot 014

Fixes added for 1.1.17

o       Charles Hedrick's fixes broken fragmentation totally. Mended.
o       Contributed 'dummy' device added. Apparently some slip people want it.
o       Tried to kill the memory problems with fragments by setting things
        up more carefully and guarding them.
o       Module fixes by Bj0rn.
o       PLIP fix by Tanabe.

Fixes added for 1.1.16
o       Charles Hedricks fixes to TCP.
o       Small fixes all over the place.

Fixes added for 1.1.15
o       Modular PLIP and 3c501 drivers. Now you -can- have multiple 3c501's
        (sort of).
o       Integrated new AX.25 - this will be ready for the big time in a few
        releases.

Fixes added for 1.1.14

o       Compiles properly on the whole 8)
o       Yet more Unix /proc protection.
o       Modular PLIP and 3c501 drivers. Now you -can- have multiple 3c501's
        (sort of).

This fixes the following from the 1.1.12 release (see the relevant files
for the credits to authors).

o       RARP compiles in properly
o       Using new Tytso TTY drivers
o       IP forwarding is configurable
o       PC/TCP support
o       AX.25 builds fine without SLIP driver (just PI)
o       MTU recognized in routing table (but only by TCP currently)
o       AX.25 PI driver merged into AX.25 code and kernel stubs
o       UNIX /proc trap hopefully fixed
o       DDI removed totally ready to use the PCMICA people's stuff
o       Unix domain lock/unlock now static (needlessly visible before)
o       Split net/inet/sock.c into generic and IP components
o       NFS client works correctly with 8K NFS
o       Non IP builds work correctly
o       Renamed inet_bh etc to net_bh to reflect true nature
o       TCP handling of poor routes much improved
o       TCP connect timing fixed
o       Incredibly unlikely SLIP memory leak removed
o       Loopback maintains IFF_LOOPBACK flag
o       Johnathon Naylor(G4KLX) AX.25 changes
o       Out of sync bug in lance driver fixed.
o       First cut at ethernet loadable modules
o       PCMICA people have ifmap stuff. Will extend this to other drivers.
o       New de600.c
o       Clean up of IP layer - sorted a lot of redundant and duplicated code
        out.
o       Removed all the old non working debugging junk from the kernel.
o       Removed all the devices the kernel used to use as a legacy from
        FvK's days writing the linux networking.
o       Greg Page's latest and greatest IPX fixes (including 802.2). Now
        I've got the stuff to write a free Netware client too and some
        volunteers to do it.
o       Fixed the 1.1.12 ARP fragment bug.
