Dude, get a grip. Those patches on dialnet are *mine*. I wrote them. I also
wrote the patches that are on ftp.redhat.com:/aic. The reason that the Red
Hat ftp site is the official site is because I can upload new patches to that
site. Since I left DialNet I no longer have a login to upload patches to that
ftp server. Instead, it has to mirror my site at Red Hat. And it appears
that the DialNet mirror is lagging pretty horribly (which would explain why I
haven't gotten any mirror updates in a while). I can't do anything about that
though.

As I said above, I can't do anything about DialNet's ftp server lagging behind
on the mirrors, but I can most assuredly say that 5.1.6 is not the latest...
