I have also been playing around with Linux. I have MCC-interim 0.97pl2,
H.J. Lu's 0.98 root and base disks available on my BBS, The Digital
Amateur 359-5111. I'm also in the progress of getting the latest
SLS set from tsx-11. Unfortunately, I'm only running at 2400 baud.
The SupraFaxModem is waiting for a new serial card.

Got the MCC system up and running with virtually no problems, but
have been waging war with the HJL setup all weekend. I think I've
got it going now, but had a couple of scares as my MS-DOS partition
has already been trashed by my inept fingers. Looks pretty good. Wish
I had a VGA card that supported X. Ah, well maybe soon.
