OK, you need a 'basic' intelligence to use a computer. You need a basic
intelligence to succeed, or survive, in this society. But the 'minimum

I partly agree with that. Many people have a stance of 'I don't know
diddly about computers, I don't understand nothing about them'. This
fear holds them back from trying.
In one of the market segments we sell one of our products we replace
manual labour with a computer. Those people haven't used a computer for
all their lives and suddenly are expected to sit all day behind a
station. Things we take for granted are complicated for them.

Subject: Re: How about this modem??
Date: 19 Mar 1999 14:05:26 GMT
The "Virtual UART's" are the entire problem... You see, someone figured out how
to create a "virtual" UART with the win32 API's and thus was born the
"WinModem". Unfortunatly, they were very short-sighted in doing so, because
they assumed that everyone would either be running a microsoft OS, or would want
to upgrade? to one, and so there would be no hassles with them, or at least not
with the majority of the market, and they could cut their manufacturing costs,
and thereby raise their profit margins to show their stockholders that they
should be allowed to keep their jobs 'cause they had found a way to improve the
corporate bottom line.
I also follow the stock market, and 3com, Diamond, US Robotics, Hayes,
and pretty much all of the modem makers have had a massive rollercoaster ride
for the past few years, with the new V.90 standard, and b4 that, the 56Klex vs.
x2 fight, along with the increasing popularity of the internet with the general
public, the modem glut on the market before the V.90 ratification, and all of
these companies need to continue to remain profitable, while at the same time,
cutting both their manufacturing costs, and their support costs. For a software
modem, they can just point to an upgrade to their software each time a standard
changes, and with the java enabled win9x crowd, it can be set up to automaticly
install, and the user never has to actually do any thinking, or more
importantly, they don't have to pay very many technicians to help people through
their upgrades, and still keep a high customer satisfaction rating, particularly
among the Win/AOL crowd who will generaly be happy as long as they can log in,
check their email, browse the web, and get into a chatroom from time to time.
If they (the vendors/manufacturers) never get any more business than that, that
will still be enough to show a profit to the stockholders, so they aren't
willing to spend too much after that to get other business especially that which
may have special needs (read "more expensive needs to satisfy)
This entire speech may be a big case of too much information, but the
bottom line is always do your own homework. I don't think you want that modem,
but whichever one you get, make sure you can get a non-penalized return from
your vendor if it won't work FOR YOUR USE. Make sure that your vendor knows
that you intend to run it under Linux, and if they will guarantee that it will
do that or ALL of your money back then go for it.
There are real UART modems, even external ones available for much less
than $100. Browse this group on DejaNews, or just check
http://www.pricwatch.com/ There is a compatibillity list being compiled and
kept at :http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html

This is a basic Rockwell chip set modem. Works fine for me. Also
it's flash-upgradable to new firmware revisions.
The FM56-ITU is its ISA cousin that's even cheaper and works with
Linux, but I think you're better off with an external modem.

Date: 19 Mar 1999 14:05:53 GMT
Hi all,
I am running slackware 3.6 with a 2.0.33 kernel on a P200. I have a tekram
390F with a panasonic 7502 and a Micropolis HD on it. The panasonic isn't
very good when it comes to reading CDs. It gets errors often, but it burns
flawlessly. I have tried a buslogic 950 controller and many of the data
errors went away. The termination is all correct. The problem with the
setup is that when the CD has an error the sytem freezes. In DOS the same
setup produces a read error and things go on, but linux dosen't like
dealing with errors and locks up. My question is what is the most tolerant
SCSI controller under linux in ppl's experience. I think I am going to get
a plextor 32 for a reader as its speed and error handing can be controller
from linux, but I want to get a better controller.
THanks

A straight-through cable (all 25 pins connected) will work. I use one
all the time.
Now, this is with the original Zip drive. I don't know if the Zip Plus
is the same.

Hi all:
I've just configured my sondblaster under Linux 2.2.3.
I compiled kernel with sound support as modules.
I added to conf.modules:
alias sound sb
parameters sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
When I do modprobe sb, the modules load w/o any errors, and I hear quite
annoying hiss comming from the speakers.
The card doesn't produce *any* hissing under NT.
Any ideas? My distro is Debian 2.1 for what that matters...
Thanx,

Don't know if Debian has sndconfig but you might give it a try. It all
depends on what kind of card it is (Vibra, Soundpro-chip?). If it is a card
with the Soundpro chip you can look at the CMI HOWTO in my signature.
Are you using isapnptools?

Keep in mind that this is distribution specific. I don't know anything about
REDHAT as I don't use that distribution. But I do know Debian. Debian's
equivalent of RPM is dpkg, and there is a higher level installation utility
called dselect that lets you select lists of packages to install and it'll
help you figure out the dependency issues. The Debian people have been
very good about embedding dependency information inside their .DEB files.
(The equivalent of .RPM packages in RedHat) If I try to install,
for example, xbase-3.3.2.deb it'll make sure I have xlib6g-3.3.2.deb installed
first. If I don't, it'll tell me I have a problem before proceeding with
configuring the package I tried to install. It's a great feature.
Debian CD's, as well as Debian's web page, gives you the dependency
information for every package available. Since I find dselect clumsy to use
(they're supposed to be improving this with a new utility called apt) I just
use dpkg to pick and choose which .deb's i wish to install by hand. With the
dependency information in there it's pretty close to fool proof.
You're right though, that Microsoft DLL's aren't much different than .so
shared libs under Linux. The problem with Microsoft software is that
Microsoft encourages developers to include system DLL's in their software
installations if they're required by the application. No version
interdependency checking is done when this occurs. At best, the newest
version of a DLL almost always gets installed, whether it's compatible with
the rest of the system or not. I've seen people right in my own company
seriously hose a computer's TCP/IP capabilities because Installshield Express
thought a Visual Basic project needed WININET.DLL. Installing a new copy of
that, however, breaks SHLWAPI.DLL (er something like that) in a way that
breaks a lot of TCP/IP functionality without warning the user.
This practice is unheard of using the Debian system. An installation of the
mail reader elm, for instance, won't include the mime-support libs just
because it supports mime. You go back to Debian for the mime-support libs,
and dpkg makes sure the mime-support libs and the elm package are compatible
with the rest of the libs on your system before installing.
To be fair to Microsoft, they are at least trying to move away from this
practice. At a technet seminar I attended last summer they talked about
passing out "redistributable" packages of system DLL's and stuff as self
installing executables and completely doing away with the practice of ISV's
including system DLL's in their application installations. It's supposed to
be part of their ZAW initiative. Unfortunately, it'll take a long time before
all the ISV's adopt the new practice, and purchase the new, $800.00 versions
of InstallShield ZAW before the problem begins to disappear on the Windows
platform. Even then all the "legacy" software that was pre-zaw will still try
to install their own versions of system DLLs.
IMHO - this is where the added value of having a distribution like Debian
comes in. Enforcement of packaging rules leads to greater stability. And
having this enforcement policy in place from the beginning means there's no
danger of older packages which break the shared library rules get installed
and break a system. It doesn't take away my freedom either. If I want to
risk breaking my system I still have the option of overriding the dpkg
safety checking, or installing source packages and compiling my own stuff.
Nothing stopped me from
compiling and running a 2.2.3 kernel straight from kernel.org.
That's why I like Debian so much. Too bad the commercial vendors like IBM are
shipping their software as *ONLY* RPM's - it makes it difficult for
non-Redhat users to take advantage of their sofware. I'd like to try DB2 on
a system here at work but I'm not looking forward to the hassle of converting
their RPM installation into something Debian can handle.
Anyway, that's my $.02.
Thanks for allowing me to rant.

I am wondering if the parallel port or printer driver might benefit
from something I did a long time ago (20+ yrs) in a line printer
driver:
I used *both* polling and interrupt-driven processing, because
the line printer had a buffer that could accept data almost as
fast as I could move it from the requester's buffer -- until the
buffer filled up. Then it would chew for sometimes seconds,
depending on whether motors needed to start, etc.
When I got a ready-interrupt, I would turn off the interrupt and
start a high priority thread which would poll the interface for
ready in a counted loop (to allow just enough busy wait to
get another ready when the printer's h/w buffer was not full,
but short enough that it would very quickly count out when
the busy from buffer-full happened). I would feed the data
as long as the readies were there, and then re-enable the
interrupt to do the long wait.
It is of course very ugly design to hard-code specific counts
for wait-loop expiration, but one could imagine a self-tuning
mechanism that might be safe. The tradeoff is wait loop
vs context switch time. Either one can chew CPU cycles.
This same principle applies to any h/w interface that has
fairly instant ready response for some things and long
waits otherwise, although with today's CPUs "fairly instant"
has to be really quick ;-)

Here's an idea: when the mixer is initialised it turns on the
'line in' or mic. That would certainly produce a hiss.
If this is the case, just use xmixer or something similar to turn
it off.

I thought linux was about being "free" I would like to be "free" to
change resolutions easily.
It's not about the color, it's about the fact that If I'm trying to
show a group of people a web page or something it's easier to show
them it at 640x480 so they can see it from further away. With 9x/nt
it's a few clicks away.

I've been looking for ways to boost the performance of my Western
Digital Caviar 6.4 meg EIDE drive. Hdparm works to some extent, but
I'm curious as to what /etc/fstab mount settings I could also try.
"Default" mounting on my old 486 with an ISA bus isn't very speedy.
Thanks. JM
