Well, good news, I got my Robotics modem (Re: Fwd: kernel 2.6.25 serial port bug [continued]) to connect with the Internet... thanks to the good eye & patience of Mr. Marvin Stodolsky, only problem now, is that the desktop connect menu will not connect, I have to dial-up via the terminal (sudo wvdial), & the main problem there is that I do not know the command for hanging-up! Shutting down to hang up (the desktop dial-up/disconnect does not work there either, & does not indicate there is a network connection, when there is one) seems rather graceless (among other things). & I did an up grade (a two day download!) as much as possible, on the hope that the desktop dial-up would get straightened out, no such luck. & I do think I have the "Network" panel set up correctly, but not absolutely sure about this... I did do something to stop the modem from dialing & trying to connect, before I even logged in... but I have no idea what it was, it just stopped doing it. That said, any one who might help out on any parts of these problems, I would be, again, very appreciative. Thanks much. Henry
