I know nothing or ftp.fsn.hu.  But, I know that backports maintains a fairly
recent 2.4 kernel for Woody (2.4.26, in this case).  Add this to your sources:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable kernel-2.4

That should get you what you want.  You can also get a kernel-source package
from Sarge or Sid and build one yourself.
