I got it running okay too, and I've never used Linux before. But one problem I did have is that the screen was messed up when I tried to run it under "screen". Someone convinced me that Kermit (ckermit?) was a much better terminal program, so I'm going to be giving that a go...I just wonder, if that's the case why wasn't it in the redhat distribution package.....okay, I think I know why, I remember reading some readme file in one of redhat ftp sites that a kermit rpm could not be distributed in mass but only downloaded for private use - something about it only being able to be distributed in it's original form. Anyway, that may have something to do with it. I haven't done it yet, but I plan to download the kermit rpm and install it instead of minicom, which seems okay, but I heard kermit is MUCH more powerful. -Tony
