Scott, Thanks for the info. and the http://linmodems.org link too. Im no programmer, so it would have to pretty much be built and set up from the start. I'm fine with adding pieces, but not if I have to modify files. Once I tried a firmware update/correction from 3Com and while the guy was walking me through it, I was totally lost. The hardware would be antique before I ever got it assembled. :-( The system I was looking for is like this: P-III EB 866mhz 128megSDRAM (no DDR or RDRAM available or the motherboard won't support it) (Motherboards not listed) Details: OS= Microsoft� Windows� Millennium Edition (they don't ask what you want, not a choice) Hard Drive 40GB 7200RPM Ultra ATA100 hard drive (unlisted brand) Modem 56K PCI Voice Modem (GVC brand) Processor= Intel� Pentium� III Processor 866MHz with Advanced Transfer Cache Sound System = SoundBlaster Live! Value with Digital Audio Output Speakers = Boston Acoustics BA265 Monitor = Not Selected (have a ViewSonic 21PS) Application Software: Microsoft� Office 2000 Small Business(but not If I can get it not included) Video = Integrated Intel i815e 3D Graphics with AGP Card Upgradability (or a MATROX G400 AGPx4 32MB board if they will allow) Case New Gateway Mid-Tower Case Keyboard = MSwindows natural elite Controller Integrated Ultra ATA Controller (ATA-66/100 I hope) Mouse = MS IntelliPoint Mouse and Gateway mouse pad Anti-Virus Software = Norton Anti-Virus Software (There's no choice, not even none, but I'd rather system-works) Software Packages WordPerfect� Office 2000 Professional added: US$99 (I finally get to CHOOSE an office suite if I pay extra for a second one) Floppy Drive: 3.5" 1.44MB diskette drive CD Drive: 20X min./48X max. CD-ROM drive (mystery brand (the cheapest on the planet perhaps?)) IOMEGA 250MB Internal ZIP Drive w/1 Zip Disk Ethernet: Adaptect 10/100 quad port ethernet card (or no NIC because they got crap) Well, let me know what you think about my choices in hardware and how xNIXable you think it would be. I'd love to have a choice of OS on boot... Any insite on winOS choice? (98-II/me/2k/NT) ? Back Office? Thanks, Brian Frasier.
