2.1.91+ seems to work so far... (touch wood :-))

Good news (so far): 2.1.91 + a few mm patches from this list and all seems
to be going rather smoothly on my i486DX4120, 16MB doing PPP, IP Masq and
SMB sharing for the company... swapping seems to be staying at a minimum
and the net connection hasn't died. :-)

One things I have noticed though, since about 2.1.88 or so... I've been
trying to get ppp2.3.3 off of cs.anu.edu.au and it has ALWAYS died. This is
about 12 attempts now since 2.1.88. I've been running 2.2.0f without
incident, but I know it's well past upgrade time for this puppy. :-)

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that 2.1.91 seems to work great
(touch wood), it hasn't kak'd like 2.1.90p3 and 2.1.91p2 have, so you guys
are on the right track! Mind you, I accidentally created this image with
SMP=1 (why on earth do you have that in as a default anyway?), so I'm in the
midst of creating a non-SMP version of the kernel to continue testing.

I'd love to help out with the development but I am afraid that my
programming experience lies more in the realm of embedded systems and not
high performance multiuser operating systems. :-)
