Dan -

Thanks for the heads-up. My first post has already gone to the bit bucket, 
but I'll look at the headers on this one when it comes back from the 
reflector and see if anything looks odd, and check some of my posts to 
other reflectors and see what dialup blocks I've been using. Next week I'm 
installing a cable modem so that should become moot. I've been subbed to 
maybe 50 reflectors in the last several years with this Juno account and 
haven't run into this before. I've run into ISPs that block Juno, Hotmail 
and other ISPs, of course. I know that some of the folks on other 
reflectors that I sub use Spam Assassin, but don't know if they have run 
into this. I'll put out some feelers.


Thomas -

Thanks for the pointer - I've looked at the pages for my model and similar 
ones at:

http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html

and have found a lot of useful information. I'll have to start my own page 
about using Linux on this platform and share what I'm finding.

The first problem I'm having is that the system locks up when I logout from 
KDE. It may have something to do with running at 1024x768 - it's what I run 
with Win98SE, and it looks great in KDE, but logout yields a black screen. 
I had to take several whacks at the installation before I could get the 
video working in KDE in the first place. I'll reconfigure to 800x600 and 
see what happens.
