The 'mail' problem dates from the first version of BL3 and is easily 
corrected.

Is there some other place to get PCMCIA modules for kernel 2.2.26? Did you 
compile the network card and modem modules from the config that you posted 
for the kernel with 'make modules'?

I am using 3.40 with kernel 2.2.16 for PCMCIA and desktop networking, or 
2.4.31 for USB storage, since the latter won't work with my PCI network 
cards.
