I forgot to add a route for the net because I did not know it was necessary
here. It is working now even without that. I could not start NFS (I am
unfamiliar with how it is done in Debian because things are in different
places) so I am using FTP.
I wish I knew which network card module is working. Probably ne2000 since
that is the first one I installed and I believe that is what I used with
Caldera.
