Since my 3c509b would come under Windows 95 before I could get it to work under Linux I got the Cisco 678 working under Windows first. I used the Cisco Commander software to get started. I found it somewhat helpful when on the phone with Qwest to determine why I couldn't connect to my ISP. (They spent an hour on the phone with me, and were both helpful and sympathetic.) I don't anticipate needed Cisco Commander on any regular basis. You can do everything through the command line. I might even be tempted to write an expectk GUI that would provide similar functions on the Linux desktop. (Not something I would do in the short term.) dsc
