   I certainly still need NetROM support in JNOS.  We have a number of
networks across Michigan and some use NetROM.  We link distant networks
with one another via JNOS "HamGates" and tunnel the traffic through the
Internet.  It is seamless to the users of the network as they never need
to know anything about TCP/IP or JNOS, they only see it as NetROM.

   Keep up the good work Maiko!
