[hsflinux] Re: hsflinux digest, Vol 1 #342 - 3 msgs

Tue Jun 24 13:57:40 EDT 2003

Hi I just wanted to thank A Zajac and others on the list who've helped me. I
was finally able to get hsfconfig to run to completiong by deleting the
suspected soft links and running hsfconfig again. Sorry for the long
turnaround time in between responses.

I guess I'll have more fun later verifying that the modem and driver are
both working correctly. Thanks again.

-Will K.
