My company bought a Sony Vio (whatever the spelling) and it is a nice machine but I wouldn't say it is tough. Small things fall off etc. I like it a lot better than my father-in-laws toshiba portable, which has a cracked hinge. Difficult call there. pete -- Duo/2400 List, The friendlie

This is quite right. The wrong IP address is linked to the name because the ISP's DNS list hasn't been updated--a newer list exists--or perhaps a corrupted lists is being used (if that is possible, I don't know). Thus the name is translated to an IP via the list but it is the wrong IP. When th

It look like you'll need the Apple Telecom software, which you can get by searching the software support site. The latest is version 3.1.3 though older ones will show up when you get to the download, ftp, site. I believe that 3.1.3 was tested for 7.5.5 through 8.6. I downloaded 3.1.3 for my 230

I'd add that there is a definite need for some sort of virus protection, especially in windows environs, if you are connected to the Internet and receiving email. My workplace is quite small but fully connected to the net: everyone has access via DSL and a router. We have a virus about 1x on a

I would think that 8.0/8.1 would be very happy on a 2300c if it had enough memory, as 8.0/8.1 contain more PPC code etc. Ram would be the thing though, as aways. I know my pathetic Performa 6205 never ran better. another 2 cents, At 02:22 PM 4/2/2001 -0700, you wrote: >I'd use 7.6.1 on my Duo
