Yes, eznet. What else would I be using? I have BL1 on hard drive and am
trying to add just enough to get lynx to work with it. Lynx won't work
with BL1 and just a change to new kernel and modules.

There must be a man page about this. I don't understand man pages. I
hope you can figure it out.

Let me know when BL3 is available with an eznet that works with a pppd
that works with the later kernel/modules.


In the meantime I will probably post lynx with instructions to use it with
SW7.1 or later. I can't spend much time on linux after today because
someone is sending me a huge translation tomorrow. I got back good PET
scan results a week ago and am officially no longer on vacation.

Are you planning to use something other than eznet for dialing with BL3?
Or use BL3 only offline?

I forget why you needed to use a later kernel for BL3. I am surprised you
have not run into a lot of other problems before this, with other BL1
programs that won't work with the later kernel.

Good luck with getting this all together in early March.
