where I was goiing with this.... before the dog heaved all over the floor... was that 
I have an Actiontec 56k call waiting pci modem (lucent chipset) and it requires you to 
setserial and include the uart speed and port and irq... I notice faster downloads in 
linux than in windose not necessarly faster connect speed but bit per sec faster 


I have now installed (reinstalled after reformating and testing) mandrake 
7.0 about fifty times.. (so shoot me... it is a learning experence anyway... 
I got no real reason to have all this computing power anyway....) I must say 
that the graphic install is not as "intutive" as I had hoped, and strongly 
recomend installing the "whole enchalada" ..every package on the cd.. I 
think I got about 1558megs and as expert. I have used the server install 
since samba, ipchains, MAsq, Apache, etc. are what I decided I wanted to 
learn to setup and run in my home network... I don't have it all running yet 
in linux.. I have managed to get the sound blaster awe64 working setup 
after starting to a console and runnning sndconfig.. still reading for the 
rest..... read read and read some more....Thanks for all the info everyone
