The URL is: ftp://ftp.cs.helsinki.fi/pub/Software/Linux/Kernel/v1.3/, but 
if you are not subscribed to the kernel whatever list it might not be 
such a good idea.

If you insist ...

On 1.3.5n the /proc has changed, so that you will have to upgrade procps 
to 0.99, SysVinit to ?(or at least the /sbin/killall5). Also ppp needs to 
be upgraded to 2.2.0e. 

The most stable, in my experience, is 1.3.57. Do not even touch 1.3.58. 
1.3.59 was released by Linus from the US and it still has problems compiling 
the sound drivers and instability in the vm/buffer/swap code. There are 
additional patches for 1.3.59 on 
ftp://ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk/pub/sct/linux/1.3.59/ (Alan Cox ?), but I have not 
tried them myself.
