Its not a mistake... BGP4 doesn't NEED to have a full view...

You can do a full view into a PM2-ER with 16mb ram without any problem
according to MZ... I believe he said a full view was ~5.9MB

I do have this on my PM2-ER-20 (no ISDN), ComOS 3.7.2...

I don't have ISDN... do I *really* need it in my active memory? This
would solve a LOT of people's "oh god I need 4mb ram!" problem. It
seems that a lot of this could be unloaded quite easily (the Linux
kernel does this now, releasing any unused drivers) and could possibly
reduce problems... MZ, any comment?
