Try to find the message "ecinit" in the kernel and patch it (e.g. using any DOS disk tool). Replace it by a character null (may be there's an escape sequence before "ecinit", but then there should be another one behind it - I don't know). Another hack could be to call ifconfig ec0 192.68.174.74 | grep -v ecinit or (better if it works) ifconfig ec0 192.68.174.74 | grep -v '^ecinit$' just to remove only this "scalpel". > > Holger > -- > | | / Holger Veit | INTERNET: veit@du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de > |__| / University of Duisburg | BITNET: veit%du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de@UNIDO > | | / Dept. of Electr.
