Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Update: ISC DHCP Client port added

Hi,

Just a minor clarification to the below.

The initial port of the ISC package was done by Ken Ames, who passed on his 
patches to me.

The configuration appplication and packaging (ie everything but 
dhclient.exe) is done by Yoda, who used Soren Agers TCP/IP libraries.

Cheers,

Paul.
