Hi guys,
Boy Rich, etc I think i am over my head here.
I went to the mini's you mention, it looks like pulling teeth to get your
devices working, sound card etc.
I didn't even look at modem's since mine is a USB port, and not serial.
MY modem is a Leopard shark 56 K, usb a nice modem but will assume
for now its out the question to u se it.
I hve only installed L-M 5.3 not got any devices configured and working
that I know of.
Thanks,
Will
