No, I can ping from the BL computer just fine, but the SW40 computer keeps 
timing out when I try to ping the other computer.

We will attempt to use llpro via parport. And a parport zip drive.  If 
both fail, the port is bad and I will need to try the serial port (modem 
or llpro or slip).

There is also a USB port and IR port which I would prefer not to get into, 
but we can test the USB in DOS once we get file transfer working.

There is some sort of ide0 error during linux boot but it proceeds past it 
every time.  And the DSL CD-ROM crashes.  I don't know if this is related 
or we were just given multiple problems.

I will write down all the error messages if I can't get anything working.

Without the -v it says there are no cards in either slot, Redhat or SW50. 
Same for cardctl status.  I am not there now to try -v.

I am sure we have at least one hardware problem other than the missing 
floppy drive.
