I definitely beg to differ on that point. I'm using MoL (out of the
BitKeeper tree) with a 2.4.0 kernel, and its networking works perfectly.
I'm using the SheepShaver net driver (included with MoL - sheep_net.o),
and it works fine for TCP/IP and AppleTalk communication.

Don't know anything about that, sorry. Been happily using 2.4-family
kernels on the Yosemite G3 tower I have here at work.
