I did, and I made a little package with the three files and the three 
modules http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.2.26/rpc-BL3.tgz even though the 
modules would not insert for me.

Your BL3 .p1 kernel.  On a 600MHz computer that might be PIII.

I did not try the BL2 kernel.

Yes, your kernel 2.2.26 from the BL3 site zimage.p1 or the like.

Apparently this has been fixed in the 2.4.31 kernel so I will use that 
when 2.2.26 fails to insert modules.
The 'big' kernel worked fine.

How do you recommend sharing an internet connection between two or more 
computers, besides serial telnet?  We might get one hooked up via a 
wireless card some day to broadband (from the neighbor with permission).
