The have a rather restrictive firewall setup. Looks like only telnet
and ftp goes through, not even ssh or ping. I'm using Telekom/T-online
DSL. No problems with most testdrives, but some seem to be down.

Traceroute goes that way:
traceroute to spe152.testdrive.hp.com (192.233.54.152), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

Yes, I remember. I think I found the problem: config.h defines
u_int8_t and others and so the lines in sys/bitypes.h look like this
after macro expansion:

typedef unsigned char     unsigned char, something;

We have already a workaround for this problem, but the code in
config.h was removed when we started using autoheader. I'll se how
this can be fixed.

Bye,
