Hi quasi, I am interested in knowing the details of changes you made to linc. But tell me, are you able to connect to Net from multiple OSs (Windows98, Windows2000, Linux, etc). As per the discussion on group its clear now that 24Online Server checks for MAC address. But in my case its same across the OSs. (as shown by sniffer program). Do I need to do0 any extra configuration? Is it possible to change the MAC address?

I am slightly confused as to what 'workaround' you are talking about. For 24online system, atleast, if you use the same NIC then the problem is only with the configuration - it should work on all OS where you can get a client (I know of Win9x/XP & GNU/Linux). I am successfully using it Linux with linc. But I had to perform a minor hack on linc for it to work. If anyone is interested I will give details of what I had to do.
