<h1>"Hopefully"</h1> before the next InstallFest it will be running as a WebServer through my Cable Modem Connection with RoadRunner. Picked up a NetGear 314 router to share the cable modem. All I should need to do is register with a setup like no-ip.com to maintain any dynamic DNS that may occur, and I am home free. So far, checking my IRC logs, the address hasn't ever changed. But RoadRunner makes no promises of the address being permanent. As for the other responses - I have tried numerous times to reconfigure the modules.conf to contain an option line of: options 3c50x irq=11 but to no avail. It always reverts back and tries to use IRQ=0. As for the ISA card, I have never played with ISA devices under Linux before, so the isapnp.conf and the pnpdump are new to me. I can't find any reference to them on my Linux machines at the office, so I will have to look more closely when I get home tonight.
