I'm under the impression that Linux can't go over 38400, and I have a V.34 modem (USR Courier). (There IS a 16550 UART in the machine.) I've run PPP under FreeBSD at 115.2Kbps, so yes, it can be done! (And this was with unbuffered UARTS (16450s) on my laptop! sio is my friend! :-) If so, am I going to be able to cram all the binaries and a decent size swap onto an 80 meg drive? (swap's going to be the problem, since this is a 4 meg machine. I can upgrade if I have to, but as I was going to sell this machine anyway, I'd rather not. :-) I know Linux will fit. This will be hard, but you can do it. Also, anyone had any luck running PPP on EITHER *BSD or Linux dialing into a Xyplex terminal server? When I tried on Linux a month or so ago, it sort-of worked for half an hour, then something happened and the terminal server crashed HARD (forgot its parameters!). It's probably wrong to blame this on my end of the link, but it's still unnerving. I do it all the time - works fine! Jordan
