Hi,

(1) It is probably easiest to get the isp stuff working

 I only have AOL at the moment.  I connect via WIN95, and then
 mount by "c:" as a vfat partition under linux, and move .deb files
 that I grab on the net, over to my linux partition.

(2) Is the problem your modem or your isp ?

 The problem is AOL, and their proprietary connectivity protocols.

FYI,  Whatever I did over the last couple days, really messed up
by dselect database.  I'm in the process of re-installing linux
at the moment, and I'm having some problems.  Although I have a
full backup of / that spans 3 Zip disks, I can't use it :( as I
forgot that there is a LOT of stuff needed like my custom kernel,
the pcmcia-cs (newer than on slink CD) and imm, etc...

Once I get back up and running linux, my new #1 priority is getting
a backup strategy in place, with ALL the stuff I need to get linux
back, if possible.

John
