The appropriate device is `ed0' or >`ed1'. This one I managed to figure out. As it turns out, the C503 is too slow to be used with a Pentium 90 system. When I tried using a c509, everthing worked just fine. I have subsequently figured out how to reconfigure the kernel to select only those devices needed. Things were looking up until I had a power failure.... Thanks for the input. Mike Laris mglaris@pic.net
