Old computer operator trick: I used to have a job where the printer was balky and remote. I used to listen to the radio a lot at that job, and it didn't take long to notice that a lot of interference was coming from somewhere close. I put an AM radio near the printer cable (RS232) and after fiddling around, set it to somewhere around 550 KHz, and cranked up the volume. It was one of those big, empty warehouse like places, and I worked at night, so, although the printer was in an acoustic shield, I was able to hear the RF almost anywhere on the floor (including way over at the window where I would go and get high) and know whether things were still running smoothly. After a fairly short while, I could tell where the page breaks were and I could tell one report from another just by the rhythm and pitch of the RF. These days, though, I use the sound card for so many other things that I probably wouldn't want to have an audio freenet feedback. A little visual gadget might be nice though! _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
