I lost all of my email from the shell server when shellworld got the ole hack job in December. This is one reason why I am more inclined now to put most of my email onto my PC instead of leaving it on the server, which, via broadband, of course is easier to backup periodically via ftp. In some messages I had saved earlier about zip drives and accessing them via Linux are history. So, if I backup the data I want to keep onto zip discs and then nuke down this hard drive, will Linux read the format? Does Iomega offer Linux utilities for the Zip Drive? Actually all I really want to do is just access the data from the zip discs. In RH, what do you specify to mount to access the Zip Drive? This is one thing holding me back is I can't get a NIC or other Network Interface installed on this box which was a WindBlows 95 box but itps corrupt and so if I could install a network interface, then I could jus ftp all this stuff off in an hour or so but I don't have the patience to do this via a lousy 56K modem. I probably have less than 2 gigs including windblows which I don't care about to work through. Thanks. Amanda Lee
