Hi everybody! Just to update, my ethernet is up and working on the thinkpad; still need to get a switch or hub for the desktop though, because right now I have to unplug my cable modem from the desktop to connect the laptop, and sometimes I need them both connected. I have a lucent technologies modem which does work with the ltmodem drivers for linux, but I have a question or two and I think a couple of you may have dealt with this. First, even though I have only one serial port, when I compile the ltmodem package, it seems to think my mocem is on ttyS01. I'm assuming though that it actually has to come through the same serial port that I now use for the doubletalk and/or braillelite, and I don't think the driver actually loads unless i don't use the braillelite/doubletalk. Would I be correct in assuming this. the reason I think this is correct is that i can't find anything about the driver loading when I boot with my speech/braille technology, but when I boot without it and make a dmesg file and then reboot and read the file, the driver is loaded. Second, if I should want to use the modem sometimes, I imagine this means I have to put the bdoubletalk and/or braillelite on a pcmcia serial port. Has anybody done this and does it work ok? Is there any special setting up I have to do other than loading pcmcia drivers? I sure like my new toy--oops, I mean tool!!! thanks. Cheryl
