Thanks James,
Your Method Works just fine, thanks.
Yes, I'm asking a lot of question and also trying to answer some that I =
know. I think it a good way to learn a new OS, reading the documentation =
could take ages and that is not saying that I did not read. I read most =
of the HOWTOs, mini-HOWTOs, etc.=20
I solved most of my problem and when I solve the PPP connection to my =
ISP, I won't have to jump back and forth between Win95 and Linux.
