if would if was using say, debian. which i was using until i ran into 
problems with my network cards. Freesco runs off a floppy. you type setup 
at the boot prompt and then configure the options. it runs things like 
dhclient itself, using the information given to it. Unfortunately because 
it *IS* running it itself, I'm finding it very difficult to check the 
settings and see what's really happening.

In posting here I had hoped that somebody might've had experience using 
freesco and could help me with a little bit of troubleshooting. the 
documentation available isn't particularly helpful, and the setup options 
are a little vague in places.

I still can't find where it decides which modules should belong to which 
card. This is making it difficult for me to make sure that it's not trying 
to send a dhcp request to my LAN instead of to the cable modem.

Sandra.
