Double check the init string you pass to the modem; sometimes by leaving things "as default" you're not getting what you're supposed to be getting with the modem. Like back in the BBS days, you're going to want to "tweak" the init string so that you're getting more bang for your buck. Ain't going to answer the rest because I hate Kazaa and don't see anything good come out of this wonderful avenue for backdoors, trojans, spyware and adware. -- Wed Jul 23 17:15:00 EST 2003 17:15:00 up 9 days, 9:18, 2 users, load average: 0.48, 0.27, 0.15 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * If you think you're wrong -- Murphy's Laws for School Administrators n3 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
