It's a Gateway 9100XL (PII 266 MHz, Trident Cyber 9397/4M video, 5G/64M, 3c575TX CardBus network i/f, Telepath 33.6K CardBus modem) laptop. The model is slightly over 3 years old; I've been running various versions of RH (5.0 - 6.1) on it up until the LM 8.0 install, and have not seen this particular behavior before. What else would you like to know about it? Jon
