This being the -STABLE and not the -CURRENT release, is there a point in committing unsupported code? Did the maintainer forget to also commit the associated user-level program and man pages?

Date: Thu, 04 Nov 1999 16:37:18 -0500 Just an aside: "Upgrade to IOS 12" isn't a very helpful response, as ISL tagging provides huge (albeit non-standard) benefits over 802.1q... Spanning tree per VLAN, for example. even though we use > IOS 12, we still use ISL. If development COULD start on ISL, it would be terrific. SB.
