SCSI disks support a concept known as "tagged command queuing". This is a
process where a controller can initiate a command on a target (disk),
disconnect from the target, and initiate a command on the same or another
target. Each command has a tag, and the controller can reference that tag
number to the target for later processing.
The message simply means that the controller is limiting the number of
outstanding (unfinished) commands to 64.

Soooo.... It works fine under RH 7.0, though no hardware acceleration
w/o the special NVidia drivers, right? Hows the situation under RH
7.1?? Is it still necessary to get the NVidia drivers, or does it
work 'out of the box'??

You are right about the starting life part.
Can you please be a bit more elaborate on how to reconfigure the NIC?
This is what I did:
1 - Went to ControlPanel->System->DeviceManager->NetworkAdapters->HPblahblah
2 - Clicked remove
There didnt seem to be any problem there.
But I have never tweaked with the BIOS before. I have a Phoenix Bios Setup.
Pressed F1 on boot and went into the utility. Saw
-Main
-Advanced
-Power
-Boot
-Exit
Main was about the Hard disk, floppy etc.
I think Advanced is what I need. Inside Advanced I saw
-PCI Device Slot 1 thru 5
-ISA graphics devices
-PCI/PNP ISA UMB Region Exclusion
-PCI/PNP ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion
Inside the first option(PCI Device Slot 1 thru 5),
I saw "Option ROM scan" which was enabled.
"Enable Master" which was disabled
"Latency Timer" which was at 0040h
Inside the last option, there were interrupts 3 to 11 listed, all off
them configured as available; I could configure them as
"reserved". Just for the heck of it I tried to flip IRQ3 to
reserved. The comp crashed.
I am at a loss at what to change in the BIOS utility so that the NIC
is assigned an address thru the BIOS.
Can you help me here?
Thanks! Veera.

I have a Class C network and about 200 users . The connection type is
100-base T . For some reasons about management , Our network have
to make a IP <->Mac mapping table .
There's one way to external network , so we just forward packet to
default gateway . (we don't need IP Masq.)
I wanna use iptables to implement it , but also concern about its
performance . As I know , there're some other factors that will effect
the traffic such as NIC card , and if the speed of process (CPU) is fast
enough , the factor on NIC card will more importance .
Could someone know the detail about this ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I have recently bought a Net2Phone YapPhone unit and installed it on my
other Windows2000 Advanced Server computer and am very glad to have the
unit. The VoIP audio quality is more superior that using any headset. It
is basically a telephone unit that is connected to the USB port.
I am wondering if anyone has any idea if this unit can be ported to Linux.
It is ashame that such a good hardware is ONLY supported under Windows OSes.

Why not just killall -9 netscape then?
As a user, killall is perfectly fine... Not something you want to use as
root on a multiuser system admittedly, but as a user, it's much easier.

Nahhh... That dialogue box appears even if no netscape is running.
In fact, if you kill it with -9, it will always say that unless you also
remove the lockfile (because netscape was killed with extreme prejudice and
didn't get the opportunity to clean up after itself).

And killall is faster too...

Hello,
I have been trying to use and.or com^pile the ltmodem 5.99 or 5.78f but
never succeeded.
1) I installed both kernel headers and the kernel sources under my mandrake
8 (2.4.3 kernel). The kernel headers are stored in /etc/include/linux
2) I type ./ltinst
3) then Gcc says something like "# .. should never use kernel headers..."
and "# should use ... instead"
4) When i remove all references to modversion.h (this seem to cause the
previous errors), the moduels compiles but when i try to insert it it throws
me "Unresolved symbols". :(
5) I tried to get a "working" module and launch it : same thing :
"Unresolved symbols..."
Have any ideas ?! Please help, i really want to use my modem with my toshiba
2180cdt !!!!
Thank you in advance

Thanks to a article in Linux Magzine (Netherlands) I tried

having this program run during the night it found more thant

Agreed. Also, some news systems will abort your reply post (AFTER you go
to the trouble of composing it) when groups not locally available happen
to be added to the groups originally addressed. It's maddening to see it
happen for a pet localized group added, without notice given prominently
in the body of the message, so the rest of us can manually restore valid
group distribution to replies.
And I realize systems probably should do this optionally for us, but the
fact is, many (most?) of them don't, for whatever reason.

Hi,
I've searched everywhere to find a clue to solve this.
I got my hands on a bunch of old HP C2490A scsi disks. All is well exept
for one thing. I cant get them to work for me. They use to belong to a
mainframe system and I managed to set the ID but they seem to be
formated with 514 bite sectors. Linux uses 512 as default as I recal and
therefor neither fdisk, cfdisk or any other tool can handle the disks.
BIOS and init finds them but they're just not there. Can you like take a
knife and partition them by hand or something. =(
My setting are besides ID jumpers 7,10,15,16
While trying I had a IDE disk (/dev/hda1) and SCSI-ID 0=cdrom 2=disk
5=cdrom2
During boot it sets the scsi disk as /dev/sda
