Sindi has not compiled any 2.2.26 kernels or modules (not wanting to 
download the kernel source code via modem).

Steven provided a LOT of them but not all.  He compiled at least one 
other 2.2.26 module when someone requested it.  Just ask him for it.

Is there some other distribution that provides modules for this kernel?
They would also need to be for the same libc.  Unlikely.

Download the package from my site using links from BL3.50 (or 
from karolis's site but I don't have the URL).

Start links, g for 'goto', http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl, arrow to the 
file you want, d to download, save to where you want it.

To install a BL3.50 lynx package:
pkg lynx*.tgz

This is lynx not links, and it is karolis's package, which I posted at my 
site (along with an updated cacert.pem.gz).

Lynx and links are unrelated except for both being text-only browsers. The 
links in BL3.50 does not do SSL (is there a links that does?) but it does 
tables and frames, which lynx does not do.  I use both, and have set up 
lynx to use links as a 'downloader'.  (That means you can view a site with 
lynx, and then download the page and view it with links).  If Karolis' 
package does not include my lynx.cfg i t is posted separately at my site, 
also set up for use with mplayer, zgv, etc.

I was a complete linux newbie a few years ago before starting with BL1, 
and learned most of what I know by asking tons of questions of list 
members, which I continue doing.
