I have tried v.2.1.6 RELEASE, and 2.2Beta, and the latest 3.0-970114. All of which seem to have a problem running on my system. The two problems are finding/using my Ethernet card, and my Internal modem. I have tried an Intel EtherExpress card, and a Magitronic NE2000 compatible card in this machine, but neither seem to work. I have tried various IRQ's and IO addresses (200h & IRQ5) and (300h & IRQ10). In the dmesg, i see the kernel makes reference to the ex? driver, but when I try to logon to another machine on the network via FTP to retrieve the installation files, it just sits there and never connects. The other problem is my Internal modem. I have tried a GVC28.8 (non PnP) modem on several IO's/IRQ's, and a Supra33.6 (PnP) modem, and it never finds it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (Other than buy a new computer) ;) Thanks, Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jason Craig System Administrator Pipe & Piling Supplies (Central) Ltd.
