I'm afraid I can't. We're trying to get it to work on a RedHat 5.0 Linux/i386
system, but we have huge problems making the conversation to work. Initially,
we couldn't get the final response to be accepted at all. The final
responsebuf would simply be empty every time. We then hacked the code so that
it disables the SIGCHILD signal, which helped a lot, but it still only works
3-4 times out of 10.
