Deja Vu all over again

[John F. Kohler]

Thanks for the reply.  I have no idea how to cut and paste on a linux
command line page.  The box is capable of connecting online with
the modem port, and if I only knew how, I'd send the items along.

As it is, I get the command line result, and type it in on my (network friendly)
macintosh next to the linux on the same desk.
