If you've been reading you should know what it requires. | I guess that you need parameters passing to the kernel.

But if it does need parameters passing to the kernel, you just | append them to the loadlin line of your batchfile. | | A quick search on google is likely to provide you with step by step | instruction. | | That's assuming that it is down to the modem, as you haven't stated | exactly when this occurs. It may be that something else has been | changed. | | | Gena | | | | Blindness Advocacy and Self Help Online www.bashonline.org | | >I know ... what a subject line.
