I've resorted to using an external device (vigor2200 USB ADSL router) to get net connectivity. To me, it looks 5-current is a fine system, but I suspect src-level upgrades from 4-stable are going to continue to be quite a bugbear. To summarize, I got to where I wanted to be, but it was a bit bumpy. thanks for all the help. Cheers, Mark
