Thanks for fixing it up!
I really need to get this ROM image stuff into some sort of CVS so it's easy for
anyone to edit and rebuild it.

Neat!
Actually, last night I started writing the 'real' virtual keyboard application. It has
a very flexible format for defining keyboard layouts, so it should work for QWERTY,
FITALY, and any international keyboard standards.
Even when this is done it would be good to have this silkscreen keyboard as a
compile-time option.
Do you have a sourceforge login? If so, I can add you to the project so you can add
this stuff to the CVS tree.

I tried pppd, but it complains that ppp support isn't in the kernel even when it is.
Oh well. If you want to try it too, just get the standard pppd source distrobution and
change the 'gcc' in the makefile.
