I use the AppleTalk tab in Network to turn AT off and on when I print to my HP LaserJet 4M. Also, the statement was made earlier that Classic is part of the default install with X. That is not correct for 10.4 and probably is not correct for 10.3. I'm using 10.3.9 right now and way back when I installed 10.3.0, I remember having to retain OS9.2.2 from my 10.2 installation because no OS9 disc came with Panther. Classic won't run unless there is a full OS9 for it to run with. I just installed OS 10.4.1 on another volume for testing and it didn't have Classic. In fact, when I tried to start Classic with the Classic pane in System Prefs., it went to my OS9 System Folder on my boot drive (the one that still runs 10.3.9) to find OS9. cYa Hib Halverson ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
