After reading your response, I realized that I was a bit confusing in that we got off dial-up around 2000. My parents stayed on dial-up and used that Apple modem until about 2007. The modem is probably from around 2005 or so as I remember they caught a lightning hit once and their first usb modem died so it's not quite as old as I probably lead you to believe. > Hmmm, interesting.

There definitely was no new /dev/anything as I did a ls -t on /dev and found nothing new. Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
