It didn't auto detect. Once I turned it on via ~p in the PPP console and switched back to the main install window, the installer did connect to the distribution site and started to retrieve the root system, but just seemed to hang there. The internal modem uses hardware flow control. What do the ........ in the last line of the debug console mean? Are they progress indicators? Any way to monitor traffic? How do I know if the installer is still receiving a file or if the link has died? TIA, -- -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.
