Hi Jim:
We also purchased a Dell 2400 server and have installed REDHAT 6.1 on it.
We are currently trying to install a cyclades multiport board but so far
without success. The cyclades engineer who wrote their driver believes the
Dell SCSI driver (which compiles after the cyclades driver) is conflicting
with the Cyclades driver so that it doesn't work. Cyclades is recognized
initally and works if tests are done with only the cyclades driver loaded.
I am not sure if this is a similar problem to yours but it may have to do
with proprietary motherboard or drivers from Dell.
By the way, Cyclades has been excellant in trying to find a solution whereas
Dell's attitude seems to be "the computer works fine without the Cyclades
board therefore it must be their problem"

There is a 2GB file size limit with linux running on Intel (or
Intel-compatible) hardware. But IIRC, the limitation is in the
ext2 filesystem on this hardware and does not apply to linux
running on other platforms, eg sparc, ppc, etc.

Hi,
I was looking at the price and spec's on the Ecrix
VXA-1 tape drive and they fit a new Samba, Linux
server I am configuring. It has been certified
by www.linuxtapecert.org
Their advertising shows them pouring coffee and
boiling water over their tape and they still work. Plus
freezing, etc.
This tape drive seems too good and too cheap to be real.
Does anyone out there have any experience with it? Am I

There isn't one. Just as the Hardware-HOWTO mentions. I should know, I
have one, and looked for a driver for several months, but there simply
isn't one. I've tried using it with the pcnet_cs driver, which works for
a closely related card, the KXL-D740, but had no luck with the 745. Now,
I'll probably attempt to reverse-engineer the damn thing soon - I
suspect that, apart from the sound chip (es1688) that the 745 has extra,
there isn't much of a difference between the two. I've disassembled the
Windoze drivers for the two, and they're very similar, however I've
never done it before, so it will certainly take a while. If I get
anything done, you'll find it in the usual places (the Hardware-HOWTO
and the pcmcia package). Matsushita have been completely unsupportive,
they have never returned my mail asking for specs.
OTOH, the cdrom itself is a pretty straightforward external scsi unit,
and you can use it with any supported scsi adapter with an external
connector - I have it connected to my desktop via an Advansys card, and
works beautifully (well, for a 4x, anyway..). Or you could get a
supported scsi pcmcia card to use it on a laptop.

"copy foo.ps lpt1:" in a DOS box (or in DOS mode) works for me. I'll ssh
into my Linux box from work, create something that needs to be printed out,
FTP the result to the office, and print it out. It's useful for those tasks
(and there are more than a few) that I can get done more rapidly under
Linux. Access and Visual FoxPro (grr) will only get you so far...some
things are better handled by grep, awk, and friends.
(Cygwin makes Win9x a little more tolerable...replaced an Access database
for looking up old SKUs with a one-page C program. On an approximately
50k-item database, the size of the replacement system was about 40% smaller
than the Access solution, and it runs faster and does more. It looks like a
DOS program (but really isn't), but so does most of my employer's main
business app, so they really don't care. As an added bonus, the program
will also compile under Linux, *BSD, etc. with no changes. I'd like to see
Access do that (no, using VMware doesn't count).)

Unfortunately your information is incorrect. ext2 and reiserfs are both 64
bit filesystems. The 2GB limit is imposed by the VFS in the kernel on 32 bit
systems. For example ext2 filesystems on 64 bit machines like Alphas and

Same deal with my laptop, a new Dell Latitude
CPx. The sound, anyway. It doesn't have an
internal modem.
I did a little research and experimentation with
the existing Maestro 1/2/2E driver, and got some
very very minor results (i.e. uncontrollable
high-pitched tone upon module init). After
emailing Zach Brown, author of the driver, I
learned that the Maestro 3 series uses a
completely different method of hardware access,
which isn't compatible with the old series. So I
guess we're out of luck until ESS wakes up :( ,
unless someone hacks one together soon. Wish I
had the programming knowledge to go beyond simple
hacking of existing drivers.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi, lower resolutions mean higher refresh rates and the monitor
settings in the XF86Config may not allow the resulting rate.
Try directing the X startup messages to a file. It is easy to
miss an error or important info line so one needs to read the
result carefully line by line! Use something like;
X >& /tmp/x.out and read x.out with more or an editor.
Or use X -probeonly >& /tmp/x.out which will not actually
start up X but will not show the last several messages
when X would have started.

If that is one of the PCI hardware modems and NOT a winmodem, you can get it
to work. I have the same modem (3com hardware pci), and managed to get it
working by doing the following:
In a terminal window type: cat /prc/pci
Scroll down until you find the serial controller - should look something
like:
Bus 0, Device 15, function 0:
Serial Controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 1).
Vendor id=12b9. Device id=1008.
Medium devsel. IRQ 10.
I/O at 0xe800 [0xe801].
Note the values of IRQ and I/O.
Then in a terminal window type(replacing with your irq and I/O):
setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 10 port 0xe800 autoconfig
You then need to create a link between /dev/modem and /dev/ttyS1 using the
"ln" command.
To keep from having to type this every time you reboot at the setserial
command at the end of your rc.local file.
Note this will only work if you DO NOT have a winmodem.

PCtel and Lucent modems have Linux drivers. There is a chance that after M$
