Yeah, links didn't work at first.  Reloaded the page, and they now work.
Probably a bad page load.

That's what I'm wondering.  There was an effort to port Linux to the
MobilePros from the 90's that expired in 2001.  Seems this is a fresh
start (or more recent).  I've emailed the developer to find out if there
is support for the 800/880.

netbsd works - but I'm more familiar with linux directories and
processes - so I'd prefer linux, if it really works.
