[lug] question about dhcpd & dhcpcd

[arnie]

Hi,
I am indeed using US West.net & the Cisco 675 external. Thanks for the info,
I'll be digging into it this weekend. The 675 is already set up for win95, and
working well.
I want it to work w/ my favorite OS, too :)

I appreciate the responses from several list members... many thanx
