thanks, Ian

Hi Voytek,

I thought that was what I did  - realise now that you're probably 
talking about a system that doesn't have an actual floppy?

In the event I can't give you the correct command-line, you can always 
attach the images to me personally and I'll write out to floppy if 
necessary and collate into a directory which i can put onto my 
internode-webspace and give you access via FTP.

I'll give you the details in a PM

Regards,
Mike

Hi Voytek 
 
There used be a sharewhere program called SVdisk that would emulate   
a floppy drive.

Wayne, Chuck, Ian, Mike,

many thanks for all the tips, as it was, it was diunpack I was after;
as it was, I ofcourse had it on a path all the time, just forgot the name...

I'll repeat 100 time:
Diskette Image UNPACKer (well, good guess, I was right)
I just should thought of it quicker
my forgetter is getting better

DIUNPACK.EXE Release 3.01 01-11-96
Copyright (C) IBM Corporation 1995, 1996
Diskette Image UNPACKer: Upacks files from a diskette image file.

Usage: diunpack  [imagefile] [-options]
-d <directory> set the target directory     -l list files (don't unpack)
-p prompt for copy of individual files      -q suppress beeps
-n never overwrite files without prompting  -x <filename> extract file
-j junk path info (don't maintain disk image directories)]

Examples:
  diunpack 144.img    => extracts files from 144.img to the current directory
  diunpack 288.emt -l => lists files on 288.emt
  diunpack 720.dsk -d e:\install  => extracts files to e:\install
  diunpack 140.ldf -x test.smp => extracts the file test.smp

Notes:
1 filename for extraction (-x) must not include diskette image path info.
  All files matching the filename are extracted (files could be in subdirs)
  If -x is used with -j (junk path info), option -n is automatically
turned on.
2 Use of the listing flag (-l) disables flags -x -d -p and -n.
3 There must be a space between -d and <directory> and -x and <filename>

So that sounds like its something in the software in the phone. It would 
have been good to try it under Windoze to see if that worked, and if so 
"steal" the setup string from the windows config.

print test but when sending a print job to the printer I get 2 dialogue

Presuming you are not using CUPS:

First test - put the print queue on hold. attempt a print and see that 
something goes into the queue.

If that's there what used to happen was if a header is left from a 
partially printed job, the queue wont work. This should not be the case 
on a totally new RC5 install but if you installed over the top it can be.

In any case go to \var\SPOOL and into each of the subdirectories, which 
are the actual print spool queues and erase all files in all of these.

Then re-enable the printer you put on hold before and reboot the system 
and retry

Cheers/2

Ed.

Still worth doing as Injoy shows 1 line of garbage characters during 
connection.  Murfy's Law kicks in because the T40 is refusing to read 
the CD (factory) & it is the only CD it ever has trouble with.  The desktop 
pc reads the CD fine but there is no dozy OS there.  The 2 machines 
are networked (eCS to Warp) but I don't know how to setup for a doze 
network.  Any ideas where I would find a howto? 
 
Cheers
