I notice that when I disconnect the USB connector I get a disconnect msg from FreeBSD, it's possible I only need to know the correct /dev/ for the device and I can proceed. -------------------- [off topic] By the way, when I very recently purchased the laptop from my computer vendor, the transaction was handled in such a way that it seemed pretty clear to me that MS had (very likely) pushed DELL in such a way so as to avoid the most recent gov't monopoly restrictions but still make it unrealistic for anyone purchasing a laptop to be offered a non-MS OS within the US. How many people were able to purchase their lap-top without paying for an unwanted MS operating system? Not me, either.) I did mention this to a friend of mine who is an attorney (who runs a non-MS office,) and he asked me to find out if anyone was able to purchase (or was offered,) their laptop with a non-MS OS. Anyone? --jg
