    Gee, I always preferred topposts, but ok,

    Hi, David,

    I guess I will have to boot up windows tonight (sigh) to get that URL. No,
    what I had to do was find this configuration file in the /etc hierarchy
    and delete the line that said "gateway (192.x.x.x" [whatever x was.] After
    that my dialup took off.

    cheers!
