I'm pretty ignorant of RH issues. I think I have most of their
boxed sets on the shelf going back to 4.2 or so, but have never
installed them on anything.

The RPMs are there on the latest versions of Caldera. OpenLinux3.1
Workstation loads up with most of the development libraries necessary by
default.

If thing bounce too badly, could you go to my web pages and use our contact
form to give me the IP addresses that are being blocked? Hit the feedback
tag in the bottom left frame.
We get hammered pretty hard here with spam, largely because we've been
providing e-mail connectivity for people in the Seattle area since the
mid-'80s. At one time we were providing uucp dialup e-mail and news feeds
to some fairly large companies here (Aldus and Mannesmann Tally were
probably the biggest), and to one BBS site that became an ISP with hundreds
of customers. We get hit by at least 50 new open relays every day with
mail to these ancient subdomains because the ``millions of clean e-mail
address'' CDs seem have a lot of addresses scraped from old usenet
postings.
