Hi,
I have encountered a bit weird problem lately. Running a server (Pentium, 2.0.35)
with 3 AVM-Fritz-ISA-Cards stuck inside for incoming calls on 1TR6 and DSS1,
the server _sometimes_ cuts every connection and seems to hang - you won't connect to
it
via ISDN until reboot mostly, but ocasionally it's getting back to work smoothly......

There are two solutions --
(1) Use a mouse with no moving parts, such as the Mouse Systems or
Good Systems optical mice, or
(2) Keep the mouse very clean and use a 3M Precise Mousing Surface,
the best mousepad I have ever seen. It grips the mouse ball like a
claw, it's absolutely unreal.

I agree with this idea COMPLETELY. If the idea that people do wrong is a
good enough excuse to violate our privacy, and the attitude that if we do
nothing wrong is an excuse for us not to complain, then the violation of
our privacy has nothing to do with being right or wrong. Just someone
elses interest.
The minds behind the observation systems are simply motivated by self
interest, regardless of right or wrong. If you toss money at the man, he
will jump straight into bed.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've been following this topic with perhaps more interest than it
deserves (in this forum, anyway).
One for you, JR:
Suppose your local government (wherever you live) is having a big push
against "online drug peddling" or "Internet child pornography" or
"cyber-terrorism". Most are, after all. And say someone, just for a
joke, goes to a public cybercafe, sets up a Hotmail account with _your_
name, and mails themselves a kiddie porn pic, or a "how to make bombs"
manual, and then calls the police. Just because they don't like you.
Hey, it could even be someone you've been exchanging views with in this
newsgroup :-). Oh, and they copy your local paper too.
Now, the police are going to have NO trouble at all getting a warrant to
go through EVERY single file on your PC. They will have "experts" who
will want you to show them EVERY single file. And while you do that...
they will sit there. And they might just be impassionate observers...
or they might behave like the average 95-IQ white male, and make kind of
crude remarks about every file on your system. Certainly about every
scanned pic of your wife on vacation. And even if nothing worse comes
of it - even if the local paper don't say "Police called at the home of
an XX year old local resident in XYZ street, who we can't name, although
his neighbours know damn well who he is because they saw the squad cars
outside" - you will feel pretty shitty about the whole experience.

Only the really stupid people in that camp say that explicitly. The

Subject: Looking for a webcam for linux
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 20:47:43 +0100
Hi there!
I'm looking for good webcam server-software
and hardware for Linux (SuSE 5.*/6.*).
keywords:
- stable software
- serverpush/clientpull/streaming/stills
(and upload of pictures through ftp to provider)
- availability (hard & software)
- parallel interface
- free (GNU,almost free) software
- cheap but good color camera
- compatability browsers & platforms (clients)
- easy to use/install
I want to use it for dialup connections, Intranet
and for livecontent on webpages.
Any suggestions?
Thx

$2200
( http://www.tcu-inc.com . These guys preinstall linux... )
The Mitsubushi 900u Flat trinitron monitor is another $700-
This goes over your budget (unless you get a cheapo monitor. DOn't! )
, mostly because it's a SCSI system.
You can get a cheaper SCSI system but you will make compromises on either
the speed of the SCSI card or the size of the HDs. With an IDE system, you
could get a huge hard drive, and still be under $2000-

Well, chances are that any recent Fast Ethernet card you buy nowadays will
work with Linux. I have a D-Link DFE-530TX card and it works fine.

I am trying to install red hat linux on a compaq deskpro 4000. The
installation goes fine until it detects the video driver, then it goes
spastic. The text in text boxes dont line up, and when you go into GUI
mode the video is really crazy.
Are there any drivers for this card that anyone knows about??

Try someone who will preinstall linux. A couple of vendors sell
laptops with linux preloaded that aren't too outrageously priced.

Yep. There is a utility for this on Leonard Zubkoff's homepage,
www.dandelion.com. See also the homepage for the Amanda backup
system.

Subject: Configuring Linux as mail server ...
Date: 19 Mar 1999 16:48:51 GMT
Hello,
I have a Linux server (DLD 5.4 kernel 2.0.33) which is on a LAN. This is
part of a bigger intranet. Now I would like to configure my system as a
mail server so that I can send/receive mails from the outside world
(outside intranet).
I sent a mail using elm and this is what I got.
=======================================================================
Returned mail: Data format error:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist
501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Data format error
=======================================================================
At this point, I can give you a hint. If, from any dos/windows based
system (within the intranet), I use ftp or telnet to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], I can successfully do the job.
Please let me know the step-by-step procedure to configure my
mailserver. My resources include sendmail, elm and kmail (of kde). Also
tell me know what are the changes to be done to sendmail, etc so that I
can send/receive mails without doing anything in the domain server.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Raghavendra B K

I have AMD K6-2/350 on Gigabyte GA-5AA. Works fine under Linux making trouble
with Win95a (no patch available).
Is your CPU overclocked ?
Maybe you have a memory problem (bad chip).
Or your MB is bad.

No, that *IS* a general design rule. Read any HCI book (of which most
are *NOT* targeted at MS, nor any other system).

Hey! I did not say that MS windows is easy to use, au contraire! I just
don't buy that Linux is ready for Joe Average at home. I don't think
that of MS-Windows either. How many times did I explain to my parents
that the Blue-Screen-of-Death was *not* their fault and that they had to
get used to that.
For us, computer people, most things a computer does is logical, some
way or the other. For most people it is not. As computers have
integrated so higly in the society that everybody, even people with
little or no education, has to use them they should be very-easy-to-use.
This very-easy-to-use might actually mean to shield the user from
certain low-level things. The more knowledgable computer user feels
restricted by this and will look for an OS that gives more freedom in
that respect.
So you will have different computer systems targeted at different
people, for different purposes.
Again, I *don't* like MS-Windows, I *don't* like MS in general. I *do*
like the open-source of Linux and I *do* think Linux is more stable than
MS-Windows, but I *don't* think Linux is ready to replace Windows.
Thats why I advocate Java, or at least the WORM idea. Let people choose
their own OS, not the OS with the most apps.
Maurice.
P.S. I object to the elitist idea that if you are not smart enough to
understand a computer that you 'have no right' to use one. Not that you
said that.

Hi
Iam running Suse Linux 6
I have a PC Chips motherboard (M590) with integrated 3D sound onboard. I
can get sound to work if I use the OSS version 3.9.2, however I only
have a demo copy that will run for 20 minutes at a time. OSS detects the
Sound chip as a Generic CM18330 PnP. Does anyone know if there is kernel
support under 2.0.36 for 2.2 for this chip set. The sound chip set is
Windows sound system and SB16 compatible but I can't get these to work.
Thanks
