RE: Modem trouble, Please help!!
Thank you to all that helped.
I never did find any script that appeared to be responsible for the
miraculous "healing" of the inittab file.
The final resolution was to install the 2.1 base disks with the 2.0 rescue
and driver floppies, download the latest kernel and use a linux/bash
emulator on my NT desktop to build a custom compilation of the kernel that
included the needed Xircom support.
I tried emailing the disk maintainer (ezanardi@debian.org) about the
problems I experienced with the latest disks, but got a bounce saying that
no such user existed. If anyone knows an alternate means of reaching him,
please let me know.

Worser and worser.

Could be. If so, I'm wrong about pcmcia. This begins to sound like a bug
in boot-floppies, but I would have though someone else would have seen it
by now. I believe that there are some self-removing install scripts.
Perhaps one of them was not removed. Could you hunt around for odd-looking
scripts?
