I can get it to run right in the 16 color VGA mode - how can i email you the XF86C file? What I' doing now is dual booting back into windows 98 so i can email you all ( i have hopes of dropping Microsoft one day ...) My LAN card is working TCP is ok , i can ping outside my firewall , and my Email server is on another machine, so i might be able to install a Unix based emailer like PINE, and attach the file?
