I don't have high hopes that it's a device driver issue or even       really resolvable via software at this point.       --- SBBSecho 3.21-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 90/1 102/401 103/1 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 128/187 153/7715 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 840 860 870       SEEN-BY: 218/880 930 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 550 700 705 266/512 280/464 282/1038 291/111 301/1       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
