My understanding is that courier is something to do with mail, what has this to do with the soundmodem? The configure continues and enables me to create a file, set drivers, channels and mode etc, but nothing seems to be created (nothing other than eth0 and lo when I do an "ifconfig") The soundmodemconfig internal diagnostics has "Cannot start audio IO" error message. What am I missing or doing wrong BTW I found Debian much more difficult to install than Suse or Mandrake but I am hoping it will support Ham stuff a little better. There is a distinct possibility I have missed something in the installation of Debian. cheers Ken
