<div class="PlainText">Thanks everyone,<br>
Dave did a superb job and I am rocking on my Debian Linux box even<br>
past a hard power off restart now.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all your help.<br>
<br>
BTW: The ISP I used to work at was IServ.net. I think they have<br>
switched over to become a CoLo and MSP now, at least to their web<br>
page.<br>
There doesn't seem to be any mention of either dial-up or any other<br>
internet connectivity there.<br>
Wonder if they are still maintaining people who had iserv.net email addresses?<br>
<br>
Once again, glad to know that our LUG is still a place to get great help.<br>
<br>
One day, I'll actually make these Linux boxen of mine screen reader accessible.<br>
<br>
Regards, Ed<br>

This missive is from me and no one else. If you got this message and<br>
you are not you, then that is your problem and not mine.<br>
