I've installed over a link like that, and I just kind of watched the monitor of the machine in the corner of my eye while it's installing. If it looks like it's hung, hit Alt-F3 and re-open your ppp connection real quick. This worked for me, it just re-established the ftp connection, and went on where it left off. Just make sure you re-open your ppp link before the download times out. > > -- > Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 > Factory Automation Systems > Atlanta Ga. > -- > Look, look, see Windows 95.
