Re: [gentoo-user] telephony

[Simon]

Hey thanks John,
  I found some pages of it online (specially the TOC) and it does seem

might actually buy it.

Thanks!

When Earth was the only inhabited planet in the Galaxy, it was a
primitive place, militarily speaking.  The only weapon they had ever
invented worth mentioning was a crude and inefficient nuclear-reaction
