I have had Etch on my IBM ThinkPad 570 and use my "Nokia 6120 classic"

what has wiped out the config since the whole thing is strange)

Ond of course stressed and stupid I am, I have NO backups of the config.

Again, my harddisk crashed and not I run again Sarge which let me not
connect to the Internet anymore...

Can anyone tell me, how to get my Internet connection back and which
module I must load to get my Nokia recognized since "lsusb" show nothing
under Sarge. And since my Laptop has no CD/Floppy, I can currently not
install Lenny fron scratch since the partitopn is to small to make a
"dist-upgrade".

Note: I need my Mobile Internet connecion urgently since my work
depends on and I can not go every day in an Internet cafe to
send my messages. (This is, WHY you receive my messages in
batch two times per week)

I've never even seen a nokia (my cell phone weighs about 5#)

To be sure I understand: your Etch laptop had its hard drive crash after
an update and your old hard drive has Sarge on it and you can't install
Etch or Lenny on it since your laptop doesn't have a CD or floppy and
without Etch or Lenny you don't have internet since Sarge can't see your
cellphone.

And you have no backups.

Questions:

Do you have Etch install media (e.g. CD) and do you have access to a
computer with a CD and a USB (and a USB stick)? You could make a
USB-stick install to run on your laptop.
