Lance they do not appear to be in the depository for Mepis. I just 
don't want to start recompiling kernels and
I think possibly those two drivers might need some kernel work. But I 
will look for those and see what I have to
do. I have never used the BP-1 before but I just happened to have one 
on the shelf. This is my first attempt at
getting a packet system going on anything but a Red Hat package... 
With the depository, it looked so simple!!

Thanks very much,
