Only one problem with that. I ordered new Linux CD's, and they seem to have vanished. Tought me a good lesson, however ... not all vendors listed on debian.org are legit. I will go with Edmund Enterprises (or something like that; that's how I remember it) the next time I order CD's. Anyway, I will try Powerlink. I have only a 19.2 modem at home. With the addition of an Ethernet card, I can use Powerlink (or so it's said). Hope I won't have any problems ... Probably will keep the Earthlink, though. ->Scwawcaac<- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
