On Saturday October 4, 1997, Marc M. LaFerrera <mml@sunlink.net> had this to say about "HELP!??!?!": > Hello, I am having alot of problems. Hopefully you will be able to help > me.

If SCSI, and *if* your SCSI card is supported (I stupidly purchased an Adaptec 2920 thinking "Gee, it's Adaptec, it should be officially supported"...not realizing it is an ex-Future Domain controller) then the dmesg command should tell you if it was recognized and what the drive id is. If I remember correctly, there is very detailed information about ZIP drive usage in the Handbook/FAQ/mail archives. (PS: I am aware of the 2920 driver written using PAO/NetBSD structures, but since I'm tracking 2.2-stable on my home machine it doesn't seem to work). > > Problem number 3.

See the Handbook on setting up "user PPP".
