Re: PCI modems (success!)

Hi Leonardo, It only took about a week to figure out that your message below did in fact tell me exactly what I needed to know in order to get my pci modem working correctly. I was thrown by the memory address that /proc/pci showed. But once I realized I needed to put that in the /dev/serial.conf

Re: Voodoo 3 2000

I haven't tried the 4.0 server with my Voodoo card yet - just the Mach64. And unfortunately, I don't quite remember what went on with the config file. As far as I remember, it updated it automatically - but I could be completely wrong here. I'm pretty sure that XF4.0 can't read XF3.3.x config fil

Re: New Installation + Kernel

Only use kernel 2.4 on test systems which you can afford to have go down if something goes wrong. The current 2.4 versions have the "pre" on their names explicitly because of their beta nature -- Things might work, but there's no guarentee. On a production system which must "just work", 2.2.17 is
