Oh, that's what it does. Again, that's not something that I need. I've got two phone lines -- one for standard telephone service and one dedicated to internet access. (The modem line is very cheap -- less than $20 a month. It's just plain local service , not even long distance access. I'll drop it when I finally make a decision about cable vs ADSL.) If you don't get any replies about Linux and V92, why not try a search on Google? > > Thank you! You're welcome. Good luck. -- cmg
