[plug] [OT] props to Harris Technology

[Jim Householder]

I'm using an NB1300+4, and seem to lose the connection to WestNet about once a fortnight.  I have been cycling the power to restore service, but recently it occurred to me that all I really needed to do is log into the management site on it and reconnect.  I'll try that next time...

Also, the first/only time I connected the laptop I used the IP address currently in use, but its machine (P-II) was powered down.  It appeared to stuff the modem royally.  No connection, and after entering username & password, all I got for a configuration page was an empty page frame.  I had to press the reset button and reconfigure it to get going again.

The connection attempt was with RH 7.3 installed.

BTW I forgot to mention in my previous post that the laptop's kernel is now debian's 2.4.18-bf2.4.
