Yes, I also need to state for the record that their support people are incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. I'm up and running now (thought I wasn't for a bit because the card takes a few MINUTES to probe during boot). What is the likelyness (read that as: who would I have to ask) of getting the driver source added to 6.2-R, or to CURRENT? While this has been an overall good experience for me, it would be decidedly nice if I could have just booted from the CD and run with it. -Dan -- "No mowore webooting!!!" -Paul, 10-16-99, 10 PM --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------
