The first message was for one of my two shell accounts (the other works) 
and the second may be related to a lack of whatever config file ssh uses, 
because /etc appears not to have copied to my compressed BL3.40 which I 
uncompressed on top of 3.3.2.  I am also missing the new /etc/issue and 
/etc/XF86Config.  Why would tar -zcvf have skipped /etc?

This still does not explain why BL3.40 works with kernels 2.2.16 and 
2.2.26 but BL2 says FATAL:  kernel too old.  I can't use Ken's ltmodem.tgz 
with BL2 on this Pentium III.

How would I compile just those two modules for 2.4.31?

A neighbor gave me two lucent PCI modems marked I56LVP-F1 (made in China) 
and CW56LU-PCI with the same Lucent chips (1996).  The former has one more 
capacitor.  Would they be any faster than the older lucent 33K which 
connected at 52000?  The neighbor says he is lucky to get 49333.

I tend to access my mail with DOS because I can print it directly from DOS 
but not from linux.  These modems won't work in DOS.  Does anyone want to 
help figure out why I can't print the mail with linux after setting up all 
the modules and printcap and switching to 'user' which I need to do to use 
printcap?
