to the description in the manpage. g flag means "replace every occurence
in each word", and its absence means "replace first occurence in each word".
Previously, absence of the g flag was implemented to mean "replace first
occurence found in all words, and then stop replacing", which was incorrect.
the kernel. ppp_tty.c goes to some lengths to minimise the inter-layer
calling (including a soft ISR). ppp_tty.c takes care of the soft masking
that was needed still.
(I've discovered that bugs in this area show up within an hour if the
masking was not correct.. :-} This combination has proven stable on
specialix serial ports, although there was some concern about the softtty
parts of sio/cy and netisr colliding - but Bruce has fixed that now)
set in open() when CLOCAL is set unless carrier is present.
Fixed initialization of line discipline. It lived across opens.
Lines that started with the wrong discipline probably didn't work
at all, because TS_ISOPEN is only set by TTYDISC.
if_sl and if_ppp (from ppp-2.2), eliminating the nearly identical
pppcompress.[ch] code. Add maximum VJ compression states argument to
sl_compress_init().
if_sl: call sl_compress_init() with the extra argument.
non-fatal. I've make it return an appropriate error to the caller instead
of panic()ing.
Handling an error condition is inherently more friendly than exploding
the kernel.. :-) The new behavior is a little closer to traditional
clists, potentially making porting a little simpler.

magneto-optical devices, it's scope can (and should) be widened to
cover all removable type 0 (direct) devices as well, since this class
of devices is sharing the same principles. Things like suport for
media eject etc. will be supported later. (Shunsuke is also working
on the problems arising out of the use of media with physical block
size != 512 bytes (which is not uncommon for MODs).

itself. Will do this after this commit.)
Make scsiconf more flexible about recognizing ``foreign'' devices.
This part needs to be rewritten some day to allow for matches whithou
strict version number checks, but either Julian as Peter seem to be
too busy right now, so i'm finally commiting the version that's
working for me stable now for several months, as an interim
workaround.

this driver hasn't been checked but as a separate module, bringing it in won't
break anything else and it't the best way of testing it......
