He has offered to the net as a resource for building custom kernels and making software available for several months. If you have telnet, you can access by telnet, log in as guest, build yourself a new kernel, and then uuencode it and mail it to yourself. Similarly, you can FTP to/from it, which is particularly nice if you have a valid user-id and password. Until you have a regular password, log in as 'guest' (as I recall), and just follow the instructions listed there. The advantage is that you get a kernel that is specifically molded to do precisely what you need done, and no one else on the net has to pay for a 800K file that only you need. If you need more information, you can contact me or julian@ref.tfs.com. -- ------ TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC AL/Management Information Systems Office Brooks AFB, TX
