I'm a multi-Linux/multi-boot user with 4 Linux distros concurrently installed. The Elive (not actually a Ubuntu BTW) Was going to stay unmodified as an back-up system for use if something messes with more up to date stuff... (like kde3 apps that work when kde4 equivalents don't etc...) And was therefore my first choice for a fix it and forget it option to maintain a reliable though rarely used back-up to my current eth0 broadband connection to the Internet. But I have an Xubuntu (still running from kde4) Karmic installation for which I just installed slmodemd via: SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.20.tar.gz I'm still having issues getting it to work properly however. But I'll bring that up in a new thread because it's a different distro & kernel (though on same hardware...) Thanks for the advise. -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>>
