When I run apt-get install ssh (after first having run apt-get install
update), I get an error message saying that there is no available
version, but the package exists in the database. What's up with that?

I'm using the version of ppp that comes with slink, 2.3.5-2, and I log

This doesn't answer your question directly, but you might take a look
at scwm, which is packaged for slink and shares some similarity with

I've grown fond of scwm. Like sawmill, it's an extremely configurable
window manager, using guile (instead of sawmill's elisp-ish language)
as an extension/customization language.

Now, how do I make it so that lynx or emacs or lftp or wget also use
this passive mode? I only seem to be able to make it work in the
regular client. Is there a system setting that all of these would
look at to use passive mode?
Thanks again.

I am running debian slink, and once upon a time I believe that I was
able to transfer files via ftp but, alas, no longer. Unfortunately, I
don't recall what changed (it was a while ago, and I didn't deal with
it right away), so now I'm trying to debug the situation from where I
am now.

I was wondering whether anyone might have burned some Slink CD's that
they could bring to the get-together. I'd happily pay for the cost of
the CD's. I'd like to try testing Slink, but over a not-too-fast
modem, downloading a whole setup is do-able, but a bit ungainly.
