She's using 2.4.18-686 from woody. It works neither with self-compiled sources nor with pre-built .debs. From what I've read this might be related to a BIOS issue: Her version A07 might not be compatible with auto-assigning IRQs as required by ltmodem? But it's good know that at least it works at all. -Andre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
