Your link works for me. Well, sort of. He spends a lot of time on what the solution to Zeno's paradoxes is not. By the time he's trying to say what it is, it still looks to me like he's saying what it's not.
But I'll give it a more careful read later.

The way in which calculus is often used to solve Achilles and the Tortoise and the Dichotomy through the summation of an infinite series by employing the mathematical techniques developed by Cauchy, Weierstrass, Dedekind and Cantor, certainly provides the correct answer in a strictly mathematical sense by giving up the desired numbers at the end of calculation. This is a clever bit of writing. The start of a cat fight.
