Actually, I don't think I've been that lucky. The real trick is to use yenta_socket in the first place, after that I've found everything clicks into place. Of course, the other issue is whether a cheap card just needs good configuration, or provides cheap results when it _is_ configured correctly. There are some ethernet cards I've seen mentioned that seem to have real trouble with dropped packets. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
