i used Kuschak's patch for kernel 2.4.12or15 (i can't remember) and it
worked. i spent about a week trying to get the patch-o-matic-20030107
working. i watched packets fly and were unable to make the connection.
so, i gave up and decided to use 2.4.19 with Brian Kuschak's patch and
iptables-1.2.8. in one hour everything worked.
i think i patched linux-2.4.20 correctly since i can see these files in
the kernel src.

anyhow, i should try and trace the problem in the src but i don't
understand what going on there. thanks all for your help.
