FINALLY,

I changed mice and viola! All is working now!  Thank you all so much for =
your
patience and information.

So now to the next step.  I have 3 windows, xterm, econsole and xclock.  =
Here
is a list of what I need to have happen next.
1.  configure the 3c905 to log on to network.  dhcp is starting as client=
=2E
2.  Print to networked HP 4050tn.  I'm hoping I can config the spooler to=
 send
tcp/ip packets to the Extreme Networks vines print server.
3.  Install GCC+ so I can start writing my programs with the compiler.
4.  Figure out where the pkgsrc file is as the cdrom from Bob Nestor is
supposed to have complete set of packages on it.

Hope this wasn't too long for the group.  Petra
