Using BL3.50 floppy disks on a computer with lucent linmodem.

I insmodded slhc and ppp.  I made /dev/ttyLT0 (mknod /dev/ttyLT0 c 5 62).

I copied these two modules and msmtp-static to a third DOS-formatted disk 
and insmodded them from there (insmod lt_modem.o and lt_seria.o).
(I also tried copying from fd to /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc and renaming to 
lt_serial.o)

I edited eznet.conf to use /dev/ttyLT0.

ppp-on told me my system lacks kernel support for ppp.  I know I inserted 
all the correct modules, because next:

I chrooted to the BL2 partition and was able to dial using this same 
kernel and the already-inserted modules (eznet up 1).  (Here I am).

I have free space still in both ram0 and ram1.

Might some file in disk2.tgz be corrupt and if so which one?
(What is the linux equivalent of scandisk for floppy disks?)

/usr/sbin/pppd and /usr/bin/eznet match the ones on hard disk (md5sum).

I will try to dial with a hardware modem.  The computer I was going to 
test on got recycled this morning but I have an external modem.

-----------------------

The external modem worked.  The provided resolv.conf DNS numbers did not. 
Unknown host for telnet or ping.  Were these defaults supposed to work 
everywhere?  I thought someone already commented on this issue.

I have copied eznet.conf and resolv.conf to the third floppy disk
(as .con) and will copy them back with the final f to 
/var/eznet/eznet.conf and /etc/resolv.conf.  The two lt modules are on the 
fd but I have not got them to work.  Could someone else with lucent modem 
please try it in BL3.50?  I will try in BL3.40 with the kernel from 
BL3.50.

I should find David's static msmtp and try it.  (Mine was glibc only).
Or mail from sdf via telnet.  Or compile dbclient for libc5 (117K for 
BL2) to use instead of telnet.
