APM works fine on my Compaq Armada 1500c (on 4.5-R) as long as APCI is switched off in BIOS. As an aside, I tried mailing you off-list about this yesterday, and got: ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to ns1.thought.org.: >>> MAIL From:<smithi@nimnet.asn.au> SIZE=1204 <<< 550 5.0.0 <smithi@nimnet.asn.au>...
