*shrug* Not a problem on my OR-U, 112K ISDN DOSBS nailed up 7x24.

Livingston PortMaster Office Router ComOS 3.9b5
System uptime is 43 days 18 hours 14 minutes

Uptime would be higher but it has been rebooted due to power cord swapping,
a blackout, etc.

I believe it is that they want to get other features into 3.9 and are
just willing to live with the lost sales for now. Keep in mind ComOS is a
common tree, and 3.9 is being prepared for ALL platforms. They'd want to
make it work across the board, not release for one then discover it needs
to be revamped.

I don't think the ORs were ever major profit centers.
