don?t know if that helps, let me know what else will help. Ethernet plugs in and the
standard instructions at
/NextLibrary/Documentation/NextAdmin/03_SetUpNet.rtfd/
for setting up static IP addresses, while somewhat arcane, worked for me.
(Sure hope they mean, ? ."rich text format document". That would be more polite
than what I fear?.)
I?m running version 2.7 beta 3 according to the splash screen that comes up in response to
?info?.
Thanks Mark! My system has 48 MB and around 650 MB
left on the 1 GB HDD.
Neither of those sound like a problem. Mine has 64 MB but much less iron oxide left.
Excited about the possibility of contributing to
RC5-72! I'll have to hook
up my less-than-good monitor if I'm going to leave it running for long
periods of time. Maybe I'll install a switch in there to turn off the
filament in the CRT when not in use. :)
That would be cool; I have run out my monitor twice (both times, vertical scan collapsed
and I switched to a backup monitor; once, shotgunning all capacitors fixed it, but I have
yet to do that the second time) (Sorry Tony, time and brains both lacking here to do the
job right :-) ).
At the moment, I?m running a backup megapixel display on the Cube board and a Sun 15?
color monitor on the NextDimension. Windows slide nicely from one to the other, but it
does slow things down a little to run that way.
However, if speed were the issue, the system would be in trouble; lots of screen real
estate is one way it can still compete with my laptop!

Hee hee! Yeah, it?s an education in patience, as blazing fast as it was on introduction.
