I just had to dink with my init-strings today as my modem started making
squalling noises when it started to dial. Thank God I ran an 8 line BBS
and had to dink with init strings on a regular basis, in the FIDO-NET
days. I'm now miles from DSL service and let me tell you, it hurts. I've
made the adjustment and have plenty of space games to play waiting for
dnloads to complete. Running yum-update nightly is out of the
question. :) Ric
