Apparently not.


This time when I booted to my custom framebuffer/scsi/sound 2.2.16 kernel
(which I will some day compile for built-in scsi if I run out of normal 
modems)

insmod slhc
insmod -f ppp2214
insmod -f ltmodem
eznet up 3


Dialed, Connect:  ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS14
Got IP addresses and Service #3 an here I am.

I will copy the modules from BL2 to BL3 along with dialing scripts.

My guess too.

2-3 hours download unless we take the USB stick to a friend's house.

So far, no need, since my only USB devices work in 2.4.31 but not 2.2.26 
and I already have the kernel I want for 2.2.16 for this computer.

I switched the DOS modem to an AWE32 card to use with the now-working 
DVD-ROM drive in the 700MHz dumpster computer.  I have a working 
PIII/DVD-player with 56K modem and streaming audio for my birthday, thanks 
to everyone's help with the modem.

For my next birthday maybe I can get linux to play midis on the piano and 
work with mousekeys.  That and WP51 are the only things left I need DOS 
for.  Our DOS CAD program works under DOSEMU.
