I am pleased to announce SyncBuilder 19990105. The SyncBuilder framework allows you to develop Java applications that synchronize data between a host and 3COM PalmPilots. It is based on the popular pilot-link package which is a language independent Unix library for the same purpose. SyncBuilder is stronger when it comes to code reuse and the ability to synchronize many devices simultaneously across a network. To download SyncBuilder go to: http://come.to/SyncBuilder SyncBuilder comes with complete source-code and is licensed under the LGPL. It has been developed under RH 5.0 with JDK 1.1.6, but should also work on other Java capable platforms. Contributions are welcome!

Package Version : 3.2.1 (1999/01/05) Driver Version : 2.1.1.11 (1998/12/30) FW version (Z only) : 3.2.1 (1998/12/17) Kernels supported : 2.0.x Changes from previous version (3.2.0): - Changed access to PLX PCI bridge registers from I/O to MMIO (Memory-Mapped I/O), in order to make PLX9050-based boards (new YoP's and the upcoming YeP v2) work with certain motherboards; - The install installation script was changed so that it detects the driver version currently installed and decides whether it should install the driver version included in the package. Comments: Any customers who face problems in transmitting / receiving data on Cyclom-Y boards (especially _Cyclom-YoP's_, and especially motherboards with _Phoenix BIOS_, which is the only common characteristic on all systems that presented the problem) should upgrade their driver to this driver version. A good way to detect the problem is by checking whether the board has generated any interrupts to the system, once you try to send data through one of its ports. You can do that by executing the command: cat /proc/interrupts before and after the data traffic generation, and comparing the number of interrupts under cyclomY. If there are no interrupts generated, then the bug was detected and, thus, the driver upgrade is required in order to make the board work.

The program may be used in two different modes. As a interactive SMS send program, or as a mail delivery agent. In the interactive mode, sendsms sends the message from the standard input to the GSM network associated with a cellular phone number. The GSM network sends the message to the cellular phone. In the mail delivery agent mode, sendsms is called from sendmail (or qmail). In this mode, you have to configure sendmail to use sendsms as the delivery agent for all mails with a special domain address. You can now use your normal mail program to create SMS messages. sendsms home page: http://w1.844.telia.com/~u84406200/sendsms.html download page: http://w1.844.telia.com/~u84406200/download.html Ulf Schr�der - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
