It turns out that KRUD 7.0 already included the older driver I
needed.  Your recipe work great.  The default modeline caused some
problems with the screen.  There was a narrow white bar along the
bottom of the screen that somehow created shadows along the top of the
screen.   After moving the screen down using xvidtune, the display now
looks great!

There may have been a problem with the Sprint box.  I acquired another
IP address from Sprint needed for my two-node internal network.  Since
Sprint remotely reconfigured the box for this (it uses dhcp), the dhcp
server on it has been much more responsive.  Hosts configure much
faster now than before - usually after just a couple of packets,
rather than 7-10.

Thanks for the help!
