Mike,

Thanks for checking in! I'll add you to the list of people who receive the draft. I have a nice list. :)

As for my name, I definitely am of Irish decent. My father's paternal grandfather emigrated from Ireland in early 20th century. I suppose with a name like "Michael Sean Collins" I'd better have at least a little Irish blood. :)

Thanks,
MC

Michael,

I probably cannot help much with your current "proofing" needs, but, I'm
offering!!

  - I've never installed FS anywhere - but I will be doing so in the
next few days (under Ubuntu server, 8.04/10.04).

  - I am a "proofer" (with the "R"!!) for a few linux pubs, the best
known being "FullCircleMagazine.org".

  - I'm a bit of a PITA regarding syntax, spelling, punctuation, etc.

  - I got the FS book a few months ago - very good publication, though
I would have liked a few chapters on legacy telephony technology,
products & services, and converting to FS, etc...

  - Formally, I'm an electronics engineer (digital), but I've been
full-time programming since 1968 - started in IBM then, on various
Assemblers.

So... if I can help.... I'll be very happy to oblige.

I'm in Dublin, Ireland, so my other query would be where that Collins
surname came from, but that's for another thread ;-)

Very best regards, and very many thanks for the huge efforts - by all of
you - into the FS project...

  - Mike Kennedy
