Would it enable me to just put a paper in the fax, dial a number and send, and vice-versa (accept a fax sent from a normal analogue fax machine and dialed to my home number)? Many stand-alone faxes actually support T.37 (basically: Fax over SMTP). Thanks. Will look for it in my fax' guide but I don't think that places which expect a fax (for semi-legal reasons or just because of Procedures(TM)) would accept an email, would they? This is funny. Bezeq already offers you a service to get your faxes through email. I never understand why people consider a faxed document as a proof for anything. The funniest thing is when they ask you to print a document, sign it and fax the result back :-) /me needs to add a SignatureFilter to his next T.38 fax gateway. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il || best ICQ# 16849754 || friend ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

I haven't touched Xen before I started using with it for my current job and don't remember that it was an issue to get on top of it and start cranking out platforms for our product. CentOS 5.4 is scheduled to include KVM so I plan to start playing with that as soon as it comes out, in parallel to sticking with Xen for production and generally switch to KVM when I feel comfortable and it becomes officially supported. Right now I got my toolset working around Xen 3.0's limitations and am generally content with the result. We manage to auto-redeploy complete environments in about an hour of running scripts. One script execution per virtual host (7 unique hosts for now, total of 14 on two xen hosts for HA and scalability, more to come soon). (auto-redeploy means that we rebuild the image from scratch for every version upgrade (starting at kickstart with a %post script inside an xm create with automatically crafted configuration files), that way we can be sure that what we have in dev, qa, staging is exactly the same as what we have in production) Maybe we should take another look at libvirt if we'll stick to our own servers instead of moving into the cloud (which we keep looking at). I'm a Perl guy and get sick from Python's indent-to-enclose but might have to live with it. Speaking of cloud platforms - Amazon is not the only game in town, there are also: 1. Slicehost 2. GoGrid 3. scalr (http://code.google.com/p/scalr/) - an open source interface to AWS turned into a commercial service too.

DNS is driving me crazy
I am using GoDaddy for domain registration and DNS and I don't seem to be able to set up MX records correctly. I'd like to have www.szabgab.com and szabgab.com to resolve to s5.hostlocal.com while mail.szabgab.com to resolve to s6.hostlocal.com and that all mail sent to @szabgab.com should be processed by s6.hostlocal.com The name resolving works fine but e-mails still go to s5 - the old server. I used to have MX pointing to mail.szabgab.com but it did not work so I changed it and now if I download the zone file it looks like this: www 3600IN CNAME s5.hostlocal.com szabgab.com 3600IN CNAME s5.hostlocal.com @ 3600IN MX 10 s6.hostlocal.com. Is that how it should be? With the trailing . on the MS record ? dig @ns44.domaincontrol.com szabgab.com MX does not seem to show me any MX record Gabor ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Why does it say @ where it's supposed to say mail.szabgab.com? Yes, the trailing dot is supposed to be there - in every record that is not resolved to an IP number but a hostname.
