Re: [Scottish] Whilst we are on the subject... {Scanned}
old isa cards, not sure if there 8bit or not, any hints asto how to tell the diferance? 8 bit have only 1 edge connector (often called PC/XT), 16 bit have 2 edge connectors (called PC/AT). ie --|__|-- = 8 bit PC/XT card --|__|--|__| = 16 bit PC/AT card coo - I'm showing my age now. ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
[Scottish] Local news server
Hello SLUGgers, I got hold of a Toshiba Magnia SG20 internet appliance, which is essentially a legacy free PC running Red Hat 7.3. My intention is, to turn this thing on in the evening, and let it mirror a number of newsgroups for access via clients on the local network during the day. I want retention to be about a week. Access to the Magnia is only via telnet/SSH - there's no keyboard, mouse or monitor. Can anyone give me a pointer as to what I need to install on it to do the job. Hopefully there'll be RPMs available, as I don't think the Toshiba doctored version of Red Hat has much in the way of development software installed. I think I probably need to use suck, but I'm also wondering about alternatives (leafnode?). I've been on this list for a while, but my experience is pretty limited. I run Debian on my normal PCs.

[Scottish] Quality, low cost hosting
Hi, Been a lurker for a while I'm doing a network for someone as a sideline, and need some advice: Sorry for being a wee bit OT, but I do remember this getting discussed in the past. can anyone recommend a good, low cost host for a small site with not a lot of traffic, ideally with either mail forwarding or a pop3 box. Do I remember Black Cat Networks being mentioned, and either being very good or very bad?? Thanks for any comments.
