The license for the chat program appears to be public domain and I also
couldn't find it on the Debian FTP server in the source directory (it's
in the ppp package) so it's *possible* (although unlikely) that the
source isn't publicly available.  If you take a good look on somewhere
like metalab then it's likely to be there otherwise try an  FTP search
or ask AltaVista.

The file which contains the last save config from make [menu|x]config is
/usr/src/linux/.config although I believe with menu- and x-configs that
you can save it as another name.  And I believe you are correct in
thinking that you can use this config to compile another identical
kernel.

I have a copy of Slink on CD but no CD burner so perhaps someone else
can help you more. :)
