Re: assistance requested



i do have the BSWare6.1 #13.1 cd which i'd imagine is a newer kernel... do i
upgrade with that cd then? (btw that computer doesn't yet have access
online) and i do have the disk with the tulip.c file... and for some reason
my accounts keep getting dropped from the mailing list for "generating an
excessive amount of bounced mails" and i'm sure it's something here with my
computer, but i haven't a clue as to what or how to fix it...
