Mea culpa. I plead continuing jet-lag. That's what I get for using "reply"
and changing the subject:. Odd that gmail doesn't catch this. Apologies, and
no more hijackings.


I solved the question I posted by doing a global find:

  $ find . -gid 1002 -exec chgrp joe {} +

which ran very quickly and did the trick. The pre-emptive strategy (Chris?) of
getting it right first is clearly the Right Thing, but this fix was a decent
second-best.


I don't have anything to contribute about modems. Apparently I have at least
one in a laptop, but I don't even know if it works under Linux -- never had
the need to find out. How the times have changed.
