Having bought an IDE tape drive just recently, I've been looking for the
same information. You'll need a late-model kernel that supports IDE tapes,
such as linux-2.2pre-5. I have found no specific documentation for IDE
tapes other than the source code at linux/drivers/block/ide-tape.c and the
small bit in linux/Documentation/ide.txt. Also, the Hardware-HOWTO
has a little bit.
AFAIK, the 2.2pre kernels are still experimental, so you may not want to
upgrade.
(I have a Sony SuperStation that is nominally recognized by the kernel, but
mt provokes various errors from it, and trying to write to it produces a
kernel panic.)

I was disappointed to see them reply with the all too common "this model

Well, getting my printed output from the Windows machines or the Macs was
not my question. I said "the sharing part is not the problem". The problem
is the garbage output that Linux produces when anything is sent to the
printer. As anything that Samba or Appletalk will send to the printer must
go through the "lpr" command and "lpd" daemon, those must both work
flawlessly before I can consider sharing the printer, which I have already
tried doing via Samba, but anything Windows sends to the network printer
gets corrupted by Linux. So, back to the problem, Linux is screwing up any
output sent to the printer, either from Linux or Samba, and I also presume,
from Appletalk if I were to try it. I pursued the Ghostscript solution as I
will currently take anything that makes the printer work correctly.

The SANE libraries may not be in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I installed from source,
and some libs went into /usr/local/lib and some went into /usr/local/lib/sane.
Also, check the files in /usr/local/etc/sane.d, and you may need to make a link
from /dev/sg? to /dev/scanner.

Subject: Thinking about winmodems
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1999 17:00:31 -0800
I was pondering the unfortunate winmodem situation in linux and thought I
would share some of my thoughts on the subject. Unfortunately, though I
consider myself a highly computer-literate person, I have not had much
experience with non-internet programming (I do a bunch of Java related
stuff), probably just because I have not had opportunity to learn it or
teach myself C... My point is that my observations and assertions might not
be technically accurate or even possible. I welcome feedback and
enlightenment.
Now on to the winmodems:
When compared to an ordinary modem, a winmodem's distinguishing
characteristic is that some of the functionality of the modem has been moved
from the modem's hardware and into software, as it is cheaper to develop
software than hardware. This software takes the form of a driver that is
shipped exclusively for windows.
The rest of this disscussion is based upon the following guess: that the
actual modulation/de-modulation is translated to software. It seems that it
would be relatively easy to write a generic routine (one that doesn't
reference hardware in any way) that could could accept input of either type
(modulated or demodulated) and translate it, outputting the other.
Once this was done, the only thing that would remain to do would be to
figure out exactly how to communicate with particular winmodems. Any
complications with this idea come from, as I see it, this last step or from
inacuracies in the premise.
Some winmodems might offload only a part of this functionality to software,
and if every one did it differently, the task suddenly becomes considerably
more complex.
Ideas or comments?

Date: Sat, 09 Jan 1999 21:07:31 GMT
The logs are a good place to look - it doesn't log the power saving
modes of the system though. I remember having problems with "at" jobs
running every minute! on a redhat setup I had a few years ago. I've
got Caldera which seems to be pretty quiet by default - unless it's
doing something while I sleep which is what I want to know. Some jobs
scheduled to run once a week or once a month so even if nothing
is done for several nights in a row some hidden job could creep up
on me unsuspectedly - this is what I don't want. Is crontab the only
place to look for any of these jobs? Is this where the "at" jobs are
originated? I'm just paranoid that there could be some at/cron
job hidden somewhere in the system which would creep up on my system
at night when all the cooling fans are turned off.
That thermal switch sounds like a good idea. I bought a power supply
for a hundred bucks which was supposedly to power off the fan when the
system wasn't using much power but I've never heard the thing power
off at all. A thermal switch there is in order. I guess I'll be
installing one in the CPU also. That will be really nice - a computer
which makes absolutely not noise! That will take some digging into the
hardware though - and I hope those thermal switches are reliable....at
least as reliable as power supply and cpu fans.
Going to the SMOS to make sure the various "wake on XXX" are turned
off is something I'll have to do aswell - I'll just leave the keyboard
and mouse weeks on.
Thanks for the tips!

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Despite RTFM, I'm having a tough time getting my soundcard to work.
I'm running RH 5.2 (Kernel 2.0.36) on a P-133. The PC has ...
- Trident TGUI9440 VGA PCI video card
- 3 serial ports (3F8/IRQ 4, 2F8/IRQ 3, Modem on 3E8/IRQ 5)
- 2 Parallel Ports (378/IRQ 7, 278/IRQ 5)
- 3Com 3C509 netcard (300/IRQ 10)
I'm trying to add an ESS AudioDrive ES1828, with no luck. The PC's BIOS
detects the ESS card, and sndconfig sees it okay, but nothing works
(when
the automatic configuration failed, I tried every combination of manual
settings for the card).
Making matters worse, when I shut down and restarted the box, eth0
couldn't
be found and my network was dead.
Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome.

Hi. Is your card a 9660 or 9680?
Are the vertical lines pixel width and
do they make text hard to read? If this
is the problem, raise the color depth to
16bpp and this problem should go away.
There are other options for the Trident
cards that solve various other odd problems.
You might need to take a look at the xserver
(XF86_SVGA) man page.

I seem to be having the same problems. Mine came with a compaq 5140

Data/Fax modem. There probably isn't a way to fix it, except get a
non-winmodem, or use an old ISA 14.4 or 28.8 modem you may have lying around

I had similar problems until recently with my ISP (fast.net). I
discovered that in my case, the problem was that newer versions of ppp
don't support passing the PAP login information to ppp on the command
line. I use XISP to dial, and my XISP configuration used this feature.
When I reconfigured XISP to use the pap-secrets file (and created an
appropriate file), it worked fine. Of course, this might not be the
issue with Bell Atlantic and your setup, but it also might be that it is.

To update your start menu, all of the files are located in the
/etc/X11/wmconfig directory as text files. The easiest way is to edit one
of the files (such as emacs) and change everything that says 'emacs' to
something else, the name of the program. Example:
emacs name="Emacs" gets changed to (for wp70)
wp70 name="Word Perfect 7.0
and so on, and so forth.
I'm new to this too. If you create a text file, it seems to not work, and
when you run startx, it will not add them. That is why you need to edit the
emacs file for example. Make sure you save it as a different filename, and
then exit, and restart X.

I had a similar problem with the ATI Rage 3d Pro LT chipset. If you install
the SVGA server but don't uninstall the ATI Mach 64 (which your board is).
Add the line DefaultColorDepth 16 to the XF86Config file in the Server? area
(man XF86Config for the right area). Run X. If it works, X should start.
Then exit X. The script that started X said that it found an ATI Mach 64
chipset, with 4mb sgram, and a 25mhz clock and such, and ran it from there.
Maybe it's only mine though.
