Only using 31% of a 20M partition?  Cool...   What are you using to open
jpegs?  Some command-line utility,  I'm sure.

I killed a relay in a (Zoom) modem,  one time.  Not pulse-dialing,  either!
 Just dialing out a *lot*.  The damn thing wouldn't release the line, 
either, when the modem thought it had done so,  which was not fun.
