Dexter, LURKER again,
I find the USR's to be far above the others, of course that is all I have 
used except for a WinMDM HSP56 that I have NOT tried to make work on 
Linux.  From what I have been told most ISP's, which I use, are using a USR 
bank and when you connect all thingys will work faster and better because 
they speak the same.  Others some times need a small script or special 
commands to encourage them to talk to one another.  NO, I do NOT work for 
any manufacturer of CPU parts, I am Retired, worked in Electronics Test 
Equipment for about 18 years and my last 10 was with CPU's, different OS's 
than DOS or Linux.  I was in a "BTOS", Bouroghs Task OS, on a 
MINI-MainFrame/w 34 dumb terminals.  Did do some surfing before the "WWW" 
was created, using IP addys and UNIX commands, which I found to be more fun 
than the "WWW", which the only thingy I can say for it is it is easier for 
those that are NOT familiar with ###.###.###.### type of addys.

Hey, that is all I know about Linux at this time.  Double checking does NOT 
hurt, I have done some of that on my system and found thingys turned back 
on, that does NOT figure either, plus I go for the easiest FIRST.

Thank You for at least looking into that as a possibility, you never know!

Give http://www.usr.com or http://www.3com.com a look see, and maybe ask 
some questions.
