Carlos and Antonio: Thanks for your suggestions. I apologise for the delay in responding but I was having system problems that had to be resolved. I have tried the ubuntu forums, have downloaded the suggested driver but to no avail. I will continue my efforts. Philippe Vouters does not seem to be available at the linmodems.technion.ac.il address. Gracias Raymond __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/
