Bryan, Dave and Andrew, Thanks for the responses. I am currently testing this new machine's setup using the Plugger 4.0 home page, and a bunch of links set up by its owner: http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html My goal is to be able to handle at least the multimedia data types on this page. Can any of your setups do this? Even my Windows XP Pro box here in the office doesn't do everything correctly, as it chokes on all of the Linux data types, but it handles pretty much everything else. Anyway, this is what I'm trying to make work under Linux right now. My presumption is that this all works for someone... ;-) Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
