How did you get your cell phone to operate. That is another item far back on
the agenda. I have it working in MS Windows.
I solved the Winmodem issue by installing a full pcia modem in my Thinkpad.
Also, twenty minutes ago I installed a Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse. It
took me 10 minutes and 3 reboots to make it work in MS Windows.
In Linux it just worked on booting - no configuration - no nothing - much
nicer - it simply worked.

Normally I choose to do a custom installation which includes almost everything
but Apache. I do not have a server so I leave Apache out.

Thanks, but I live in Oldsmar now - extreme north of Tampa Bay - so going to
Brandon is a pain not including the fact that Thursday's night to go that far
is an impossibility so thanks for the offer but I am going to have to
decline.
