If not, you can then drag me through the compilation.  We now have three 
of these modems and need to plan ahead for other computers without enough 
ISA slots.

Do you have any idea why BL2 won't work with 2.2.16 or 2.2.26 on this PIII 
700MHz?  FATAL:  kernel too old.  BL3.40 works with both, but the 2.2.26 
ppa.o module crashes in BL3 (I should try BL3 with another kernel) and 
works in BL2 (2.4.31).  I still don't know why ssh won't work in BL3 - 
there does not seem to be an ssh config file in /etc.  Do you have a PIII 
to experiment on with older kernels in BL2, and ssh in BL3?

VGA and MDA - I exit X then Shift-PgUp, in the same terminal.

Freel free to also mirror anything at my site, half of which you compiled.
I still need to put in the link you suggested.
