I haven't talked to Microport directly about this, but someone I know
said he called requesting the 2.3 kernel with 5MB process limit, and they
said it wasn't available yet.  They didn't sound like they were in any
hurry to provide it, either;  they said he was the first person to request
it.

Assuming you do get the special kernel, you have to be willing to give up
20000 blocks for swap space.  I couldn't afford that, so I'm still stuck
with a North America map.
