I don't support the tomsrtbt 1.x or distribute it, but you should be able
to find it somewhere.  The problem is basically that I have to provide
source for 3 years after I distribute anything, under GPL, so if I was
to distribute the 1.x, it would extend my need to support 1.x another
year.  The old one says that it is kernel 102.0.39 instead of 2.0.39,
I gues I should do similar ugliness in the current 2.2.20.  -Tom
