It is connected to ttsy1. - (I guess ttys0 is occupied by his original winmodem) - and drakconnect recognizes it - somehow. I don't know about his BIOS. We'll try again. - What about this Rockwell chipset - does it matter ? I saw something about "software compression" not working in linux on this chipset (whatever that is). Thanks Ed, I'm afraid we have a long journey ahead of us. Kaj Haulrich. -- *This mail was sent from a 100 % Microsoft free computer*
