I have not had any probs with vz dropping this list, but the jerks kept dropping and bouncing the lkml, getting me un-subscribed twice so I had to move that account to gmail. But, when vz gets a corncob up their anus about a list, you may as well give up and use gmail. I actually have 3 servers I can 'pop3' fetch from, using fetchmail, which in turn uses procmail as its MTA, and procmail steers it through spamassassin and disposes of it accordingly if its too spammy. All kmail has to do is sort it to the right folders. Does that make this old fart (73) a 'power user'? Nah, just a wee bit better than the average bear, a small amount of the time, and dumber the rest of the time. :) In re the rtapi and unexpected realtime delay issues, I experimented some this afternoon with my base thread which was set at 78000ns when I started, reducing it to 38000ns for the last test, running most of the stuff in the nc_files dir to test, and never did see another error AFTER the startup, even when running at 200% speeds here. However, as has been noted, every motherbaord/video combo is going to be enough different that sometimes the only thing you can do is to throw more money at the hardware. There have been a couple of motherboards that just weren't usable but I don't even recall their trade names now. Perhaps one of the developers has a better memory than mine on what brands to avoid. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
