Ok let me correct myself. What you did was to highlevel format the
zip drive to work with a dos or mac file system (like doing a mkfs).
But you CANNOT lowlevel format a zip drive to increase it's capacity
as you can for a floppy. You have no control
Not only that, but I don't think that you can low level format a zip
drive, as you can with a floppy. You MUST buy preformatted zips,
which is why they come in PC and Mac flavors.

After looking around on the net, I think that is right.
The RTL8029 card is supported by the ne2000 driver in linux. You need to
re-compile your kernel. Invoke make menuconfig and under the network
options select the ne2000 driver. In the pre-2.0.34 kernels this is under
the ISA network card drivers since the ne2000 pci card uses the same
driver.

ifconfig will show a connection to ppp0 when the connection is

From memory I think that ttyS0 (com1) and ttyS3 (com 4) share the same
interrupt. That could be your problem. Go into your bios setup and insure
that these comm ports do NOT share interrupts. Usually interrupt 5 or 7
can be used for the third comm port.
