How did you shrink it?

'SSL support since version 0.94'  - will you include SSL or provide it as 
an add-on?

They are on version 0.98 stable 0.99 prerelease.  Too large?
One download of 0.95 in the past week (Mar 7 - yours?)

I think I have two cards with 3com chips (3c589_cs.o) and one that uses 
smc91c92_cs.o, but none that use pcnet_cs.o or xirc2ps_cs.o . In the 100K 
free people can add their choice of modules.

I have the 3com cards because the modem part failed (combo cards).

Have you tried eBay?
