Thanks for the tip, Dan. Actually, I'm not planning on doing in
internetting on this machine. It's only input is a phone modem (no
ethernet port or wireless card), floppy drive, and CD ROm (and
keyboard!). Since it is working now doing what I want, and I don't have
a phone line (only cable and cell phone), I'm thinking it will stay
isolated!!!
