Yeah, I normally use alot of his RPMs on my server builds so was happy to 
hear a couple of months ago he had intentions to support el3/4.

Although he has them on-line, they have version numbers of el2.9999 and 
el3.9999 so hasn't announced it officially yet. He's in the very final 
stages now of making the packages el3 and el4, before officially announcing 
ATrpms support of the rhel3/4 releases.

Regards,

Michael.
