Yes, that is what I meant. I looked at my /etc/modules/aliases (I am running
Slink) and all three of the lines were uncommented out. So I guess it was
something that was being sent by my ISP. I just used the Linux 2.0.35 Images
and I am sure when it was compiled those protocols were compiled in. I just
don't use them.
Thanks for you reply. And I will ignore them from now on.
