Mine works. And is pretty stable (Usually get uptimes of a week or two befor eI decide to change something). But I had to swap using my onboard USB (VIA Chipset on an Abit VP6 motherboard) for a 2 port Belkin PCI card. The only instability I have at the moment is now & again when using my CD writer, I get problems with APIC errors that appear to trash my interrupts completely. > Regards > > Adrian > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "alex" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 9:20 PM > Subject: [speedtouch] Re: ADSL Line is blocked? - (yellow > light;terminates...) > > > On Thu, 2001-11-01 at 16:53, Adrian West wrote: > > > Thanks Sylvanus, > > > > > > No luck yet.
