As we have so far got only Uttam and his SmartLink WinModem to be made to go. I'm sure there will be room for you. Uttam, please could you confirm that you will be bringing your machine? > If yes I will download the latest binary and source > RPM's and also gzipped source (the lot!), and haul the beast in on > Wednesday nite... Please can you have a look at the epkowa site at:- http://www.epkowa.on.arena.ne.jp/iscan/data/manual_e/hmanual_e/INDEX.htm and have a read through so that you can point errors out when your helper runs off the straight and narrow. Two brains are better than one. You will also need the up to the moment sane stuff. i.e. rpms for your distro. As an alternative I seem to remember that there is a French fellow who has got the scanner in question to go in a different way. Found the site. http://www.linux-france.org/article/gvallee/scanner/epson1260-en.html While these patches are intended to work with particular xsane / kernel versions ( sane-1.0.8 / linux-2.4.19 ) they are so obvious that I'm sure later kernel and sane versions could be patched, by hand if necessary. What kernel do you run currently? -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB. This PC runs Linux. If you find a virus apparently from me, it has forged the e-mail headers on someone else's machine. Please do not notify me when this occurs. Thanks.
