I just had to dink with my init-strings today as my modem started making squalling noises when it started to dial. Thank God I ran an 8 line BBS and had to dink with init strings on a regular basis, in the FIDO-NET days. I'm now miles from DSL service and let me tell you, it hurts. I've made the adjustment and have plenty of space games to play waiting for dnloads to complete. Running yum-update nightly is out of the question. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
