   	And did you ever try to set up a TCP/IP stack when the   
   analog modem was commonly in use.   Things get done, smarter   
   people made things easier for less smart people because it   
   is what they like to do.   
      
   	I tried that on the Amiga when the only method was   
   a big text configuration file filled with non-transparent   
   terminology.  The refractory fatigue syndrome I have had   
   since about the time the Amiga appeared on the market   
   damaged my ability to deal with such matters so i waited   
   a few years and finally bought Miami which was an Amiga   
   TCP/IP stack that even configured my modem properly for   
   a change.   
   	Maybe the shambles will not be evident in another   
   few years and maybe not but you have a working computer   
   now so...   
   	Even with my damaged brain playing with Linux   
   for 10 years or so has given me some confidence in moving   
   files around and entering root to deal with some matters.
