Wow, what a wealth of information! Printed all of them out and went to 
the web page, GREAT information, thank you soooo much.

I really don't want to do appletalk, no real reason to do so. So it 
will automatically show up if I hook it up to the router under IP, 
right? That would be GREAT!!!

The 16/600 is lookin' REAL good about now!

I guess all of you here are bottom-posters, right? I'm usually a 
top-poster but the Low End Mac's G-List has me bottom-posting too.

Oh anyone know why, upon startup with Jaguar, i get the "prohibitive 
sign" (zero with a slash thru it) then all goes well like nothing is 
wrong? Can't figure that one out! I've repaired permissions and did the 
fsck -y thing and the same thing happens. This is a B&W Rev 1 with a 
Sonnet G4 800 mhz card, a SCSI card for an external slot-loading DVD 
drive and an AGFA Arcus II scanner, and an ATA card for my extra 2 
internal hard drives. Got all the software for those cards that I know 
of. Runs like a dream tho! Loving Jaguar too. Only been on Jag for 4 
days now, a real newbie!
