I set it up at my home running with an ethernet card into an ASDL router, but at their place with no ethernet connection ,puppy would stall for 60 sec DHCP timeout on boot, so I put in a static address to stop that and successfully...

Sorry Barry , didn't mean any suggestion that you couldn't afford it . -Just that set up costs and monthly fees for something like satellite might be hard to jusify for yourself (I know it would be for me) But if a few people said "Gee , we like puppy ...and hang the expense..here is a little p...

RE Barry's own words in his blog "Yippee! Our phone company, Telstra, has fixed my line, and I'm now back to the blisteringly fast dialup speed of 21,600 bps! As reported earlier, my connection speed had dropped to 14,400 bps -- compared to that, 21K is fast." Anyone want to help Barry get...

I have made the Trevy wallpaper to 1024x768 and reduced it to a puppy size
download.

If my monitor is capable of: HorizSync 31.5 - 82.0, and, VertRefresh 50-100 and I make it: HorizSync 72.0 - 82.0, and, VertRefresh 95-100 Is this going to guarantee a higher refresh rate, or just mess things up?
