Hi Stu,

I ought not to be typing this now as this session started about 36+ 
hours ago, interrupted by a few hours of live motor racing in Surfer's 
Paradise yesterday and today - main event used to be an Indycar/CART 
event every year, but unfortunately is no longer - was supposed to be an 
A1 GP (all same vehicles, teams are representing different countries), 
but they failed to turn up in AU! :-(

I tried three times installing RC7(A) on this T43, without success. Each 
time (freshly long-JFS-formatted), it hung in the installing TCP/IP 
applications secton of Phase 2. Trying the resume.cmd had so much 
missing that I gave up on it completely! :-(

Decided to just put an additional RC6a installation on the system, but 
this time with the wireless enabled. Apart from the following everything 
went smooth as silk!

I seem to have the application help files for WLAN missing - the program 
objects for the documentation are referring to files in the 
\var\temp\.....\....\ hierarchy which don't exist anywhere on the disk!

I ran the GenMAC scan program and got the following:

So I guess I'm getting there (slowly!) Actually I also picked up anothr 
MAC address "Murphys" - I bet it's a Windows-using near neighbour 
(across the road in the village I live in - 30m away) name of Jim 
Murphy! Obviously his system (or he) didn't appreciate the scanning as 
it went off the air shortly afterwards!
LAN is on adapters 0 and 1(lan0), WLAN is on adapters 2 and 3 (lan1). 
Have TCPBEUI+NetBIOS+TCP/IP on both. This is the lantran.log:

Hopefully I should have this operational soon via wireless! :-)
