| What does pre17 mean as in 2.2.19pre17 ?
It means that is is release #17 of the pre-2.2.19 releases. It is
like a beta/test release of the 2.2.19 kernel. Kernel 2.2.19 is newer
(better) than 2.2.19pre17, however 2.2.19pre17 is newer (and should be
better) than 2.2.18.
Where do you live? If it is near Rochester, NY (or if you want to pay
shipping) I could give you a real modem because I have a couple of
spares and win<device>s just plain suck.
