Lawrence,
Turned out it was a hardware problem. WinDump assigned it the IRQ value
of 3, which conflicted with com 2. I manually reassigned it to 10; now
we're working. This will keep Jan and Nickcole happy. We're getting
hooked up to DSL Tuesday. Thanks to Red Hat (!!!) and IP masquerading I
have the LAN up and running so all three of us can be on the 'net at the
same time.
