It's a good thing we're not making any new releases for the vax.

It's a good thing we're not making any new releases for the vax.
Every time a new release comes /etc/slattach gets replaced with a broken one.
Every time the broken slattach gets installed my Internet connection to home
dies mysteriously.
Every time the connection dies mysteriously, I must shut everything down,
kermit to lakota.mit.edu, find the working version of slattach, install
it, start it,
re-establish my arp table, quit our of kermit, restart all the network stuff
at my side, and then get back about my business.
That is, if I notice and guess right what went wrong, and don't spend a lot
of time trying to debug it.
That is, if I remember how to do all these things, in view of how long
it has been
since the last time this happened.
But even if there were to be a new release, there'd be notification
somewhere...
