I'm trying to get B-Flets to my manshon (not to be confused with mansion)
right now. Progress report will be made available if there is interest.

Main software problem is probably going to be PPPoE. According to a third-
party web page, the driver CD-ROM that NTT (*) provides actually includes
source code to a Linux PPPoE driver. That would be a massively pleasant
surprise, but we'll see.

(*) In his case, it was NTT West, whereas I'm going to be dealing with
NTT East. This may or may not make any difference.
