hello again - and a question about Rogers

[Matt Cahill]

  Well, well...after posting to the Libranet board, it turned out the baby was 
running PUMP (cue screams from RedHat users), which Rogers doesn't play 
nicely with anymore.  I switched to dhcp/dhcp-client, played with the 
dhclient.conf file, prayed, and it seems to work now (fingers crossed).

  In other news, some advice:  don't uninstall your dhcp client until you have 
local copies of it (or the alternative you wanted to replace it with).  
Discovered I'd left myself without a network to apply the fix, couldn't find 
the original 'pump' package, and had to go to an Internet Cafe to snatch .deb 
files (!).  Testament to UNIX, I put 2 debs and a txt-file of 
instruction-clippings on one floppy (with room to spare).

Thanks to everyone for the help.  So far so good.

M
