Last I heard, GenMAC would not accept/pass an assigned MAC via TCP/IP (IPX & NetBIOS works, though, via the NETADDRESS param in PROTOCOL.INI). Also, AFAIK, only the newer Intel cards suffer from this problem, though I've seen GenMAC completely fail to recognize a supported Broadcom (B57) NIC in an HP Proliant (far afield from this discussion, I know). As for UniAUD only initializing one channel, this is a new one on me. I know that Carl has audio through both channels on his T60, and Diane gets both channels working on the T61. I guess it's remotely possible that different sub-models used different audio chips, but I haven't seen anything like that with T60's or 61's. ___ Lewis G Rosenthal Rosenthal a Rosenthal, LLC Sent with SnapperMail
