Fired up Octane for 1st time since start of Pandemic. Keyboard Issue

RE: Fired up Octane for 1st time since start of Pandemic. Keyboard Issue
Well the new keyboard wont work because it is actually a USB keyboard that has a PS2 converter on it which I don't think ever works with the older SGI machines.

So, I guess I will try the Xmodmap tweak tonight. I need to configure my SGI for my new Firewalled FiOS setup so I can download xkeycaps to it.

The default gateway is 192.198.0.1 but... is that what I put in the default gateway on the SGI or should I leave it 192.168.1.1?
I think if I put it on 192.198.0.1 the Octane will complain someone else is using the same gateway right?
oof, been a bit since I set one up for networking. I always only do this like once every four years so for some reason I can't remember the details.

I did set to 192.168.1.1 and was able to ping this pc from the Octane so it is seeing this computer through the ethernet.. Now its just getting it to find the internet.
Nothing shows up in Firefox or Netscape.

I want to get it on the internet so I can download xkeycaps because I can't easily figure out... nor want to mess up my default keyboard setup using xmodmap.

In the meantime, I was messing with xmodmap and have run a few commands in the terminal but... I am trying to figure out... which command lets you test a key so you can see which number it is assigned to?

I did the xmodmap -pke and have a list 149 keys long but need to find out which one in the list is actually the ctrl key.
I suppose since CTRL-L is acting like caps lock it IS caps lock but I see that Pause/Break acts like Caps Lock as well.
Caps Lock doesn't act like anything. Shift works normal. Alt and ctrl seem to do nothing except I did notice alt acts like ctrl in maya in that it will allow me to subtract from multiple selections so alt is ctrl. Just need to assign alt to alt
