Yes - sorry about the convoluted american date notation.
The linux-2.2.3-19990808.tar.gz is only 291 bytes.
19990807 was the last "full" tarball.

Didn't have ssh...but "socksify" command seems to work
rather nicely. Found it in /opt/socks/bin and cvs can now
talk to the puffin.external.hp.com.

Forgot about this table...good thinking.

This already helped...I'll assume CONFIG_PA7100 means PA7100LC.

BTW, I went through the linux/.config file and found conflicting
options enabled (eg. 712 was enabled). So, I'm rebuilding...and
we'll see what happens.
