Hi there!! Yes, I'm running a RH 7.0 box now. My Internet connect is KT&T Broadband. To get speech, I'm using my BNS 640 as a terminal, by way of the brlterm program. Fortunately, the are no valuable data on the Linux side of the wall, yet. If a new install is required, I can do it. This machine has Win2K and Linux. I'd like to keep it this way (my job requires Win2K. For ease and reliability, I boot the Linux from a floppy.
