In theory, the support that I seek should be readily available from AVASYS's bulletin board located at: http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/bbs_scan.html In practice, my attempts to post queries via this bulletin board have been dismal failures. I would be interested to be told how posting such messages is done from any linux user of the NG who has succeeded in doing it. Given that the bb is loaded with messages, it clearly can be done. But when _I_ try, I get an error message relating to the entered input to "contribution key". The supplied info reads as follows: contribution key （Please input 7 at the time of contribution.） What have I missed? Felix Karpfen
