Simon, It appears to be working! I think I need to write a tutorial on configuring the BIOS to make this all play. It turned out to be a real pain, but I finally got my kernel and the BIOS on the same pages. (Or really the same IRQs.) It's really annoying that the BIOS in the ThinkPads is only configurable from DOS or Windows tools. I have used kermit to dial one of our POPs and it worked fine. I now need to get ppp configured, but that may take a while as I have never used ppp on any Unix system. :-( Thanks again for doing the work of porting the code to FreeBSD! I am a bit swamped at the moment, but I may try making this a port this weekend or possibly the first week in May when I will be taking a day off. I'm on call for routing problems next week, so may not have much time. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
