2.17 Works Great on my 770E!!

Hi Barry,
Brand new puppy user here. I recently started the search for a small Linux distro to power my Thinkpad 770E. After reading good things about puppy I grabbed a copy of 2.16. Unfortunately, it would hang at boot during puppyserialdetect. After a bit of Googling I ran across your developer page about the alpha release of 2.17, so I grabbed a copy of it. I'm happy to say it fixed my boot problem! Puppyserialdetect runs immediately and I was able to get to X without issue. Unfortunately, I have no internal modem to test out for you, which was mentioned would be helpful on the developer page.
Now I can't wait for the final release of 2.17....
