Sorry I am not very clear of your question. The PC used to test knoppix
CD is connected to Internet via ADSL (dialup) with a router modem and
56K modem. The PC has 2 hard drives, inter-changeable/removable. One
hard drive has WinXP installed. Another has RH8.0 installed. Both OSs
can access Internet via either ADSL or 56K modem (winmodem)
B.Regards
Stephen
