I do see their uses. However, there are problems with using them. The point is that 90% of users don't have a real use for modules, much less need them. As I pointed out to another person that responded, I've had too many support calls from people whose problems were a direct result of not loading a module, or compiling support into the kernel, and still trying to load the module as well. | This is OFFICIAL WRITTEN notification that I want to be REMOVED | | from ALL commercial mailing lists.
