Install the qualcomm popper instead - current debian version is 2.1.4-2, but I'll release a 2.1.4-3 tomorrow because the previous one has a serious locking problem. Other than that - it works beautifully. Package name is qpopper-2.1.4-3 Mike. -- Miquel van | Cistron Internet Services -- Alphen aan den Rijn.
