Yesterday, and "creatively."  This gave me a good modeline and eventually a 
good set of frequencies.  Now it shows KDE and the tube has not exploded 
yet.  I'm sure some of you would expect the CRT to fry just from seeing
KDE ...

Now on to the modem, PPP/SLIP, and all that.

Thanks again to everyone, especially Jeremy.  :^)

BTW, I thought I would run fsck.  It however gave a frightening message about
it being a bad idea to do fsck -A on a drive which already has a fs.  This
never used to happen in SunOS4.1.3u, and is a bit alarming.  Clearly I am
missing something.  The manpages do not warn against this.  Should this message
be ignored like so many others?

Adios,
Chris
