GOOD NEWS !
 
	Well I go ppp up and running :)  and netscape installed. Thanks for all
the help with ppp Setup.

	Now I am attempting reconfigure my Xwindows for 800x600. I currently
have timing data for my video card. but I can figure out how to
correctly convert my (ms) data into the data required for the Modeline.

	hdisp hsyncstart hsyncend hsyntotal
	vdisp vsyncstart hsyncend hsyntotal
	
	How do they calculate these number that go in these locations ?
I also would like to use a higher depth, How do I select 8,16,32 bpp ?

Thanks
