I am using 2.2.10, with the latest potato versions of everything, including diald. I have diald installed, but even though It is running, I don't use it. I ill-configured anyways. When I have time, I am going to upgrade to 2.2.10, and at the sime time check out the Magic SysRq stuff (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt). --------------------------- Wim Kerkhoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.canadianhomes.net/wim ICQ: 23284586
