THANKS!!!  Ok - how do I get to stable from 2.1 release? My 2.1 release
system has a 'dedicated' connection to the internet. Should I just grab the
/sys/netinit/in_rmx.c code (from where?) and remake the kernel? Is there a
clean way to upgrade to 2.1-stable? I've never done upgrades (just fresh
installs). Thanks for the info!
