As I recorded in an earlier message I could not get kudzu to recognise my new 56K Zoom modem. I tried everything. Ran kudzu with various options , reboioted, etc and not nothing worked. Last night I booted my machine and kudzu suddenly discovered that my modem was there and configured it. Well that seemed good and led me to the Passover-like thought "Why was last night different from any other night?" Well my feeling that things were finally going right was dashed when this morning I booted my machine and kudzu said that my Zoom modem had been removed and did I want to remove the configuration. I said no but in the kudzu hwconf data base the zoom modem is marked as detached. Any comments, anyone? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
