  I will take this opportunity to offer someone else's machine for this, if
that is OK with you, Julian.

  ref.tfs.com is a reference site operated by TFS and Julian Elischer .  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.
