Hooking the modem up should be a breeze if your ISP supports PPP. All you'll need to do is confirm the settings for ijppp in /etc/ppp.conf. Full instructions are in the Handbook. For X, you should have better than 50 megs free. A quick du on my system gives: gdi,ttyp1,/usr,29>du -sk X11R6 du: X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/authdir: Permission denied 45628 X11R6 ^^^^^ 1k blocks. That is with Netscape and other X junk in there. <soapbox> I'm still trying to understand why people think they have to run NT. There are other options, like FreeBSD and OS/2. A lot cheaper and not made by Microsoft. </soapbox> Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
