I noticed the Adaptec 152x is on the RedHat Tier 2 list of supported
adapters, so does anyone know how to get my AVA-1505 to work with Linux?
I'm sure that the AVA-1505 is compatible with the 152x series because the
the description of the FAQ document on the 1505 driver page reads "Common
questions and answers on the AHA-15x5/AHA-152x SCSI controller".

Hello!
Who was able to configure his 56 K modem of U.S.Robotics with
"addfaxmodem"? Since it�s a socalled Faxmodem, I�d like to try this ...

Subject: USR 56k EXT modem troubles
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 02:17:29 GMT
Running Slackware 3.6, kernel 2.2.6.
Old setup was internal usr 33.6 modem on com2 (ttyS1) and a serial
mouse on com1 (ttyS0)
Borrowed my friend's USR 56k EXT modem, put a ps/2 connector on my
mouse, and put the modem on com1 and the mouse in a ps/2 port. Having
no problems with the mouse, but I can't get the modem to work.
I changed all my ppp scripts to use com1, linked /dev/ttyS0 to
/dev/modem. Haven't had a lot of time to mess around with it, but
I've heard that external modems don't really need any tweaking to get
to work with linux.
What happens is I run the ppp scripts, all of the lights on the modem
flash, and it stops. A tail /var/adm/messages tells me that the modem
isn't even initializing correctly... put in a few simple init commands
like AT, AT&F1, ATM0, etc... not even initializing using those...
Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Haven't had any
hardware troubles with linux before... so this is naturally driving me
batty. ;)
oh.. and btw... the modem works fine in win95 (it shows it as USR 56k
EXT PnP) on the devices list
thx for any help...

If you have mtools installed, you can use floppies with msdos filesystem
; try :
mdir
mcopy your_file a:/
If you have mounted your floppy, type
cp your_file /path/mount_point/
to copy file.
I hope that'll help.

hi:
Why is unsecure to use SMP and APM?
If I want just to shutdown my machine by soft, how may I do it?
pd: if you have both (SMP + APM) supported in your kernel, at boot time
it deactive the APM because is unsecure.

The only real reason for dinking the config file is ordering.
The rest can be set by just running the configurators that
you happen to have on hand.
Either a tweak to these configurators or some little applet
that switches to an arbitrary res on startup (with a nice
front end of course) would solve the issue.
Alterate #2 would also leave the nice frontend for the odd resswitch.

Make sure that if you're running gpm it's using the PS/2 port not the
modem's serial port. I think I made that mistake once.

I disagree with the comments part of this (they aren't all there is to
it, but they are important), but you have a valid point in the second
part.

But you are wishing for *good* comments from someone who couldn't
write good code. I'm saying that you are likely to get bad
comments instead, and since he had less time to do it, even
worse code. What makes you think otherwise? What do you do
if the comments are misleading and incorrect?

[snip]
Isn't that 1542C an ISA card? If so it is possible that a newer
controller would help. Maybe Intel chipsets don't have this problem
but my mother board with a Via chipset doesn't do ISA very well. When
I used a Ditto Dash card for a Ditto tape drive I had to tweak the
BIOS just to get the ISA connection to keep up with the tape, Yuk! The
TekRam SCSI card and new tape drive I just bought are much
faster. BTW, TekRam card are *way* cheaper than Adaptec and mine works
fine.

It is only for historical reasons that we assume that a computer program is
represented by a linear sequence of alphanumeric characters. Rather than just
add character sets, I would like to see totally different methods of
programming. The new Lego robot programming system uses (AFAIK) a totally
graphical approach. Of course, it is aimed at a market without preconceptions.

Sorry that I have posted this question in a few other NGs and hope that I
will get a quicker answer. If you have already read this somewhere else,
please ignore.
Hi all:
startx runs to a point that shows me nothing but a blank screen. What might
be the problem?
I tried Xconfigurator a few times and tried even with stardard VGA mode, but
still getting the same blank screen.
I read somewhere from the web that CL 5446 is only supported up to 2MB of
RAM. I doubt it if 4MB will cause the problem, but that's what I have on my
machine.
Any suggestions?

Actually, the easiest thing to do would be to update your
system to RH5.2... there are a lot more upgrades necessary to go
to 2.2.x. RH5.2 does have support for the Ensoniq PCI card...
however poorly the drivers might perform. As a somewhat better
alternative, you can try to install the ALSA drivers from
http://alsa.jcu.cz. They might (?) work under RH5.1...
