Thanks in advance for listing to my small knowledge problem.
Running RH 7.3 I have a HP 6100 scanner which my system recognizes as a HP

Since I travel a lot and I am seldom at one location I normally use a dial up
connection.
Down load time for many of the components is normally in the 6 to 24 hour
range.
At the last linux meeting I attempted to down load RH using a T3 line.
