[[ Warning, you'll need something which can display Kanji to be able
to read what I've written. I'm using mule and netscape. I've tried
to make the non-Japanese parts separate enough that if you only
understand English and have only english viewing programs, you can
safely ignore the strange sequences of characters resembling TECO
progragms and/or line noise.

Using Netscape and
http://www.dgs.monash.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/jwb/wwwjdic?9T
(and my little knowledge of Japanese grammar) I believe that this says
something along the lines of:
Compaq PRESARIO 2274 with FreeBSD 3.2 installed, but
NIC: DEC 21143-based and Video Card: SiS5598 which won't [attach].
In the current [system], can you please instruct me how [to make it work].
The text in [] is guessed based on context, I didn't look up the
words in hiragana that I didn't already know, or for which the literal
translation didn't make sense.
