Thanks, I kept my original installation of RH 7.3 on another hdd but it bugs
me that I've got to swap if I want to have 450Kb/s downloads. It is easier to
use XP on the other partition, it can run sm200d no sweat! But ther's a
principle involved here...I will not give up but I need to know a lot more
about Linux than I do. I might write to Telemann or Diego Picciani, they can
only tell me to get lost. I did not know that it is possible to use 7.3's
kernel to run the newer apps.
