Hi, Janina and all. Well, I wasn't going to get into this, but I'll explain why my Linux computer wasn't networked, and also had the modem taken out. I've never mastered the operating system, and have never gotten the OS completely working to my satisfaction. I've tried just about every dialer and none have been able to get me on the net. One I've been working with is wvdial, and it will dial, run ppp, and then freeze solid. I have tried getting Samba going, butTCIP and home networking can be extremely confusing. Thus I keep Linux around to fool with, but I have never intended making it my primary operating system until X-Windows is accessable, I can scan books, and actually get my ISP to work. I've tried two ISP's and neither would work properly. So I have to solve many problems before I can even aquire the CVS patches.
