[picking a random message to reply to] Thanks to everyone for their ideas and offers of help! On the rationale that any office should have some old clunker machines lying around, one of my cow-orkers and I ended up scrounging around people's cubes, until we found a P5-166 that someone didn't want (for some reason he was trying to make -CURRENT run on it, but he gave up). I grabbed 2.2.8 via an FTP install (first time I've done that in about three years), and we're good to go.
