I have spent ages scouring web-sites, chasing links that don't work and trying to email companies that seem to not have a "postmaster@xxx.yyy", "webmaster@xxx.yyy" or similar general address where mail to the correct domain will automatically be routed (my own "*any*@amleth.demon.co.uk" addresses will come to me if it isn't taken by other valid email addresses). The reasons that the information is so lacking these days is the view, by manufacturers, that everybody will run M$ Windows and they provide the drivers accordingly. As these are never open source other OS proponents are left in the cold. I am continuing to press my suppliers and manufacturers for better information whenever I can get it. -- ******************************************************************** Paul E.
