Try sending AT&F&W to the modem in a terminal program. This sets the modem back to factory defaults, and writes those defaults to the power-on defaults. Good luck, Jared Valentine [EMAIL PROTECTED] At 01:23 PM 11/13/2000 -0800, Sean 'Shaleh' Perry wrote: >On 12-Nov-2000 Jean Botes wrote: >>

Compiling a kernel...

I would like take the plunge and compile a kernel for my laptop - I have unpacked the kernel source and have gotten as far as "make config". I would like to use xconfig - would be a little more comfortable (I'm stretching my limits now...), but make xconfig returns the following: >dell:/usr/local/
