you had any archaeologists knocking at your door? I was at the Metropolitan
Museum in New York last month and saw a 4000 year old Egyptian statue. Your ISA
modem should be carefully encased right next to it.</SPAN></FONT><FONT

<DIV><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2>Well - how's this for embarassing -
I thought that my modem was PCI (going from memory), but when I finally
decided to take a good look at it, I discover that it's an ISA card.
Oops. I still can't find much about the model (Zoom Faxmodem 2929) and I
found an internal hard modem that looks like it will work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2>Now I just have to work on getting
it to actually print something!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial size=2>I was looking through the games
that come with the install and found Tux Racer - system slowed way down when I
started it up. I thought at first it was the graphics card which only has 8 MB
of RAM. Nope, popped in one with 32 MB and it didn't help.
Hmmm...wonder why it's so slow - finally decided to look at the system
requirements for running RH9 under the graphical mode and my system just
barely meets requirements. I have planned to install Linux for so long
that it hadn't occurred to me that the system I was going to put it on might
not run the lastest version real well. I know I could get it run under
text mode, but I like the idea of having the graphical mode until I can learn
more about the commands. For the most it's runs on this system (and as
long as I don't start a couple of the games). I am going to swap out the
motherboard/CPU and it should be fine. </FONT></DIV>

the desktop, I would like to try to get it installed on my laptop - and woo
hoo!! no more Windows!</FONT></DIV>
