Do I try bare.i from SW81 instead, or is there a specific wireless 
ethernet SW81 kernel?  (I should eventually compile my own, of course).

I downloaded files from the web and had to run them in Windows 98, except 
for one that worked in DOS.  Pretty dumb to require Windows to upgrade a 
DOS-compatible modem.  I don't know exactly how the upgrade worked, it ran 
itself with python.  USRobotics has lots of them at the site, specific to 
each modem.  Afterwards the right ATI command (7?) included both x2 and 
v90, and I added something in pppsetup to tell it not to use x2 (s15=128 
or s32=34, the other one tells it not to use some compression algorithm, I 
think).
