I'm not sure you need to worry about the firmware. As I recall, you have to be running a windows machine to update the firmware and I think it's solely to add some functionality relating to windows. Take a look at the readme file. Now the driver from cisco is a different matter. There are two versions available, one which they call an interim release for Jaguar which was released last fall, and a more recent version. The recent version has a serious memory problem in that if you leave it running for long periods of time it will gradually use available memory until you restart your machine. You can tell you have the problem if after a day or so, your computer is using the hard drive inordinately. In process viewer I had instances where 50% of the available memory was being using by the Cisco menu utility. I never could get it to work properly, although cisco engineers are aware of the problem. The older driver works just fine with 10.2.4. As I noted in my prior post, however, you still need something to cause the Base Station to dial out (if that's your connection method) and the ABS Modem utility works great. Incidentally, I downloaded the beta version for OSX and it launched just fine. I'm interested in seeing how it works when I get home tonight. Always before, it would launch in classic. Both the classic and OSX versions are really simple little programs. I put a copy in my dock. When I'm ready to connect, I simply click it and tell the base station to connect. And when I'm done, tell it to disconnect. John Slavin Kirksville, MO [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
