Thanks, all, for the advise re: networking and DSL! On another topic: My S900 (original PPC604/233, 3 internal drives - WDE 4.2G, SeaGate Cheetah 4.2G, SeaGate Cheetah 9.1G, 416M RAM) has developed a curious habit of late. I set the monitor (Radius PressView 21) to sleep after inactivity, but not the machine, as I have considerable fax traffic. With increasing frequency, I've had to restart the entire unit - as opposed to simply tapping any key to bring the screen back. When I've done so, the machine flips to drive #2 and picks-up the OS 9.1 I've just installed there...failing to even mount the designated start up disk, #1 (running OS 8.6). I have to run HD Toolkit to mount the drive, then redesignate it as the start-up, and reboot the machine. I haven't clue as to what precipitates this problem?! Monitoring activity prior to occurrence yields no specific pattern or program which could be responsible... I bought the unit in 1996, and have never changed the PRAM battery - could this be symptomatic of a problem related to that? Drivers (Apple) were updated on drives #2 & #3 prior to OS 9.1 install, but not on drive #1 - which is operating with InTech's latest drivers. Eveything's been running much faster since the 9.1 install, and the problem occurred prior to install 9.1, so I'm fairly certain it has nothing to do with that install... Suggestions would be most gratefully appreciated?.....
