Well I think I have found a more convienient way of handling the dialup. After going through the activation procedure, after closing the browser I just turn off the modem power. When I want to go on line I restore the power to the modem and shortly thereafter it begins dialing in.
Another convienience I found. To get numlock enabled on boot add the following to the /etc/Xll/xinit/xinitrc file: . /usr/bin/numlockx on I had to go to sudo to do this. But now numlock is on when I boot up like I am used to. Jack Ensor Quoting Ray Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hello Jack > > Glad to hear you got connected.
