Yes, you told me to because 2.2 was not working with the later kernel.
I will try this tomorrow.

If this works with lynx, perhaps you could help me to set up something 
that will let me send mail from within lynx, or at least send the address 
to the mail program the way you set it up with links.  I just realized I 
can send mail from another terminal rather than exiting lynx.  

I am pretty impressed that you got all of this to work together already, 
including eznet, pppd, and mail.  The mail program was a stumbling block 
in lynx for DOS - Doug eventually switched to another mail program after a 
bug showed up in the first setup.  The dialer he recommends almost never 
works for me (a DOS port of chat) and frequently those from Arachne and 
Bobcat also don't work, and they are highly modem dependent.  I changed 
ISPs and what worked before won't work at all now.  Works fine in linux.

Except for this business of mixing versions of things, basiclinux has
always worked perfectly - dials and connects and loads packet driver on
the first try.  Unbelievably easy to set up and use (if I don't misplace 
my floppy disk when using the RAMdisk version).   Only drawback is that I 
don't have a straightforward way to send mail while using lynx.  

Thanks again for sharing your successes with us, and for all the 
explanations.
