I have not played with it enough to tell you how to fix it. I have just about the same setup on my Thinkpad, but I am not in Linux right now, so I will try and send more information later.

Re: [newbie] dev file question
I'm sorry to post about this again, but I'm really confused with this and have no idea what to do. Should I try reinstalling the winmodem? - Grant --- Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello!
