My apologies to you, Antonio, but I'm blowing out of this thread.
Reason
being that I got a card from my phone company yesterday. They told me
they're offering broadband service now. So I signed up this morning. I
get my high-speed modem delivered by UPS on the 19th and service
starts
on the 20th. So I'm going to hook up through a network card and a DSL
modem next Friday. I see no reason, then, to put you (or me)
through any
more of this pain when, FC5 being the way it is, I may have to ask the
list for networking help next week.
Thanks for your trouble. I don't want to give you any more trouble.
Jimmy

You're preaching to the choir. I know cable is better. I've had it
before, when I lived in another locale. It isn't available in this dump.
We just got dsl -- and that's what I'll get.
Thanks.
