When you were having the probs installing the modems - did you seek out the drivers for those particular modems, or just wait for MDK to find them? Sometimes, you'll find that winmodems will be found quite easily with the correct drivers installed and compiled - most with Rockwell/Conexant chipsets work wonderfully well under any version of linux (not always with RedHate, but MOST - especially MDK). You might want to chuck out the 28.8k and try one of the other modems again - just go to http://linmodems.org and check for the proper drivers against the chipset you see onboard the PCI modems...that shouldn't prove to be too hard... Samba is actually SO easy to setup/configure and install - especially when you're using Webmin for it's configuration in conjunction with SWAT...or you can directly edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf for it's configuration and then just restart the smb services (drakxservices and choose stop then choose start). NT isn't always fun to play with - especially when there' strange IP subnets and the likes...but hey, some folks like pain, others like pleasure... -- Mon Mar 31 08:30:00 EST 2003 08:30:00 up 9 days, 20:17, 4 users, load average: 0.01, 0.05, 0.05 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * MDK 9.1 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting machine no:194239 * RH 7.3 * Sales - Service - Support - Tutor ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** This messages was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer ** Hope is a waking dream. -- Aristotle
