For the record: this patch made me nervous but survived the rigorous testing I
threw at it. (Ie, dialing up using bas_gigaset and downloading almost 20 MB in
just over an hour. Whoot! That's more than good enough to ack this patch.)

There was some cleanup I had in mind to make this patch more straightforward.
But that can wait until someone finds a way to hit an issue with this patch.
We'll see.

Thanks,

Paul Bolle
