Broadband Question
Sorry for the topic drift... But I am moving to the Chicago area and I need to find a broadband internet service provider. Does anyone have any recommendations? I plan to run a wireless Airport network from an Extreme Base Station, connecting (for now) only my Pismo G3 to it. Any advice or experience with Chicago providers would be most appreciated; feel free to contact me off list. Thanks, --Keith Potter -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I have been able to install the serial backdoor and a printer that is recognized by Jaguar but when I attempt to print, I just get gobbledygook. I was so hopeful when I first heard the printer fire up. :-( Andre *** Re: Peter J Pederson's question about printing to his Epson Stylus Color 600 via a serial port in Jaguar. I can't stress enough how I'm flying by the seat of my pants in this area, but here's what he needs to do, as I understand it: 1. Download and install Gimp-print and ESP GhostScript from here: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 Gimp-print is an ongoing project to provide drivers for hundreds of unsupported printers (Peter's printer is one of them); ESPGS has something to do with PostScript interpretation, and apparently is essential. 2. Now the slightly tricky part. A kind soul has made the pre-compiled serial support for CUPS available for download here:http://homepage.mac.com/laurentvonallmen/FileSharing3.html. (Without this, you would have to download the source code for CUPS, compile it in gcc in Developer Tools, etc, so it's a HUGE help ). Download the CSW2400.tar.gz-link.gz file, which is actually a complete kit for getting a Stylewriter 2400 to work. Peter can ignore most everything in that folder except the serial file, which needs to be moved into this OS X directory: usr/libexec/cups/backend. I'm sure you have to be logged in as root to do this, unless you know how to do it in Terminal. The directions in the CSW2400 package probably have some useful info about this. 3. Once this file is where it belongs, restart the computer and open any web browser. Type in this URL: localhost:631 This opens the Web interface to CUPS, and it's just a matter of following the steps, starting with Add a Printer to choose the printer and the right port. Once done, the printer SHOULD appear in Print Center. *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Spinning Beachball on Pismo w/ Panther
Hi all - I just re-subscribed to this list to ask this questions, so apologies if this has recently been asked. I just installed Panther on my wife's Pismo last weekend and for the most part she and I are very pleased with it. We are having one recurring problem that I would like some help with though. My wife connects to a server at her school and has shut down a couple of times without disconnecting and then brought the PB home. With Jaguar this was no problem but now when she restarts in Panther she is presented with the neverending spinning beachball of death as it looks for the server. We can't seem to get it to stop looking for the server and can't get to the finder, although we can open some applications. I have trashed the recent servers folder, run fsck (which helped the next time we restarted), repaired permissions, etc., but would appreciate some feedback from someone more knowledgeable than I am about network stuff. Is there a file that I can trash? Some preference pane? Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks! Sam Strong Henley Middle School -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: RAM needed for OS X on Lombard

There have been some agreement in many circles I frequent that 384 MB is a magic number for Jaguar. After that, the speed increase flattened out. But 512 MB is great. I just went from 128 (!) under Jaguar to 256 and I think it's easily 4-5 times faster for the GUI operations, just because it can cache now what it used to get from swapping. When I get some time over I'm installing Panther with XpostFacto. however, I really should get 2 x 256 ASAP.

Re: Personal LaserWriter LS on WallStreet
Clyde, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said this: A Laserwriter II NTX has a localtalk port and uses postscript--which works under any system. Yes, but under OS X you gotta have an Ethernet interface in order to get to the printer at all. At least as far as I know. I suppose this is because there is no Appletalk support for the localtalk connection under OS X. Get an ethernet to localtalk bridge of some kind and make sure appletalk is selected in the network stuff.I was initially thinking maybe I should offer to give you one of my spare bridges, but then I changed my mind to thinking that maybe you would want to give me the printer instead. Sure, but I think you'd find the postage expensive as it's in Sweden and it's what, 20.5 kg? Probably would be cheaper for me to pay for bridge freight. Heh. ;) I suppose I'd be interested enough in getting this old printer printing in OS X to put down $20 in total, but not more. I sold a Personal Laserwriter LS 6 months ago for $13 plus freight, so if I can't get a bridge for $20, then I suppose I could sell the NTX for $20 or whatever and buy ink for a Lexmark that was given to me.

Re: Apple iBook G4 or PowerBook G4?
Three thumbs up for the TiBook. I've had mine for just over half a year and I love it. One comment - get the fastest one you can (1GHz) I think, and with a combo drive (if you need it). It sometimes feels a bit slow (maybe due to the 4200 drive?). Aside from RAM, PowerBook after market is . Since the Airport issue will come up - I've had no problems from the front yard to the back (appx 150'+;Belkin wireless router on the second floor, near the rear of the building; regular airport card installed). Oh yeah - get the airport card included if you can ;-) .and get a set of screen protectors. They're highly reflective, but I was s annoyed at seeing keyboard marks on the screen all the time.

Re: Apple iBook G4 or PowerBook G4?
The TiBook may look nice when you get it, but maybe not so nice after a while. TiBooks have a problem with scratches (one of my friends has one and all around the palm rest on the case there are scratches, just from normal use. he is very displeased). Also, there is the problem with AirPort (that is, if you are going to use AirPort) the titanium case blocks the signals more on the Tibook than any other powerbook or iBook (the iBook appears to be the best with airport). I speak proudly of the iBook G4 (I am typing from mine right here) I purchased the low-end G4 powerbook just for the added G4 power (iBook g4 800Mhz 12 but no airport card) and it works quite nicely. Though, I don't think you can go wrong either way. -- Andrew A Mac Freak On Jan 20, 2004, at 7:42 PM, Frank P. Eigler wrote: Three thumbs up for the TiBook. I've had mine for just over half a year and I love it. One comment - get the fastest one you can (1GHz) I think, and with a combo drive (if you need it). It sometimes feels a bit slow (maybe due to the 4200 drive?). Aside from RAM, PowerBook after market is . Since the Airport issue will come up - I've had no problems from the front yard to the back (appx 150'+;Belkin wireless router on the second floor, near the rear of the building; regular airport card installed). Oh yeah - get the airport card included if you can ;-) .and get a set of screen protectors. They're highly reflective, but I was s annoyed at seeing keyboard marks on the screen all the time.

Panther won't boot - shell
Just got the first problematic experience with Panther (TiBook 1 GHz). After finishing setting up the OS 9 partition (which I do need right now), I ran Norton on the OS X partition as minor problems were prompted by File Saver. These were repaired, then I defrag'd and upon re-booting to X.3.2, I get the apple screen, then I'm brought directly to the bash and get the following lines: /etc/master.passwd: Not a directory /etc/master.passwd: Not a directory -sh: /etc/profile: Not a directory -sh-2.05# in6_ifattach_linklocal: failed to configure a link-local address on lo0 (errno=55) in6_ifattach: lo0 failed to attach a local linklocal address I can issue commands at the shell prompt (-sh-2.05#), but I don't know what to issue. help would show me some of the possible commands, I can ls, cd, etc, reboot causes the reboot, i.e. chime, apple screen, bash. also I get the following (-sh-2.05# is the prompt, what follows is what I type): -sh-2.05# ls /etc /etc and: -sh-2.05# ls -als /etc /etc/master.passwd: Not a directory If I hold option while rebooting, I can choose to boot onto the OS 9 partition, which works fine. It looks like some information is corrupted. Is there a simple/quick way to get out of this without having to re-install and reconfigure everything(I just finished that and was scheduled to begin work basically now). Maybe a bash command? I'm rusted on Unix. I have access to external firewire drives/computers. please CC any reply to me, as I'm on digest. cheers, gianfranco -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Apple iBook G4 or PowerBook G4?

Bought it refurbed from MacResQ for $1,299 (512 RAM, 30g hard drive, combo drive). Added an Airport card I already had (installation's pretty simple) that has a range as good as the Dell 80211.b card in my old Kanga. Only complaints are that the paint does flake some, the trackpad was more erratic than I liked until somebody reminded me to reset the ignore accidental trackpad input, and the keyboard layout is about 90 percent as good as I'd like it to be; it took a little getting used to but I've adjusted well. I also wish that it had at least a 5400 rpm hard drive instead of the 4200, and I'd prefer a SuperDrive instead of the combo but not for the amount of money it would cost. Also, I don't think iDVD will run on a 667, but since I can't burn DVDs right now, I'm not going to cry too much about it. The screen is beautiful, the form factor is impressive, and It's run flawlessly; installed Panther as soon as it was available, and in all that time, I have not had one single crash. Granted I don't use classic much on this 'book, but still, that's pretty impressive to me. I've run permission fixes a couple of times but that was just for regular maintenance. I love this machine. Right now they're selling for $1,100 to $1,200 on ebay, although if you've got the money I recommend going for a higher-speed processor (I'm a cheap bast- I mean, frugal guy, so I didn't want to part with more money :-) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
