Maybe some settings for the parallel port has changed in the CMOS setup
since then. Try some different settings like SPP, EPP or ECP and see if
it helps.

Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 13:30:12 -0400
Hi,
while configuring my SB sound card I did something to my Internet
Connection. I would appreciate if anybody can help me understand
what to do now. Thanks! Here is what happened:
I configured my sound Sound Blaster AWE 64 PnP --
I did like the book said, found the dev address in DevManager in
Win95 (IO Port, IRQ, 8-bit DMA, 16-bit DMA), used that in Linux,
bingo! it worked: I heard some test message. The problem is that
after that I tried to connect to Internet through my modem and it
doesn't work now -- I even then deleted the new /etc/conf.modules
that was
created when SB was configured and made the empty one as it was
before that,
rebooted, doesn't work (xisp that i use says unknown problem, see
logs).
in /var/adm/messages after
localhost pppd[..]: pppd 2.3.3 started by denis, uid 501
insted of
localhost pppd[..]: Serial connection established (as was before)
I have now
localhost pppd[..]: tcgettattr: Input/output error(5)
To configure SB (in my RH 5.1) I used /usr/sbin/sndconfig that
created the following /etc/conf.modules file:
alias sound sb
options -k sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1,5
thanks a lot.

xmcd? Isn't that a motif based CD player program?
That has nothing to do with your SB16 except for the mixer functionality.
So install a mixer program, and check whether the CD audio input
volume is not zero.

Do something like:

libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40019000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
and you will see your libc version. (glibc = libc6)

Hi to all linux friends,
I've been in & out of this newsgroup and several others over my S3trio3D
on-board that came w my IBM P300GL w ViewSonic P810 (21" monitor")
After close to 1 mth of immense pain, I have finally upgraded to Xfree86
3.3.3.1 w kernel 2.2.6 and am using the frame buffer device. (I can see the
Penguin)
(for those having unsupported video cards, e.g. S3Trio3D pls refer to
www.uno.edu/~adamico/banshee)
Now when I startx the results I have is that I have no suitable modelines.
I've tried searching through the modeline database at
www.netmaster.ca/fvlug/monitor but it seems the recommended modelines that I
used gives the result that the horizontal freq is too high and all are
removed.
****Any of you kind-hearted ladies & gents care to give me some advice?****
e.g. your P810 modelines or your XF86Config file if your on the S3Trio3D,
best case scenario is that you happen to be using ViewSonic's P810 w
S3Trio3D and X is running just fine ;-) ... Now.. is that too much to ask
for?

You'll want to run modprobe <modulename.o> to install the modules

Um, actually, DOCSIS is pretty simple (at least the IP side of things ..
the RF side is a bit trickier). But, yes, there is no cable modem
headend or modem that is using WinCE at present. (The only
CableLabs-approved headend is the Cisco UBR, and many of the cable
modems themselves are actually using boards designed by Cisco.)
However, the cable -boxes- (ie, the thing you need for Pay-Per-View and
other 'enhanced services' such as 'Digital TV') are another thing
entirely. That's where WinCE is trying to go, and that's why a WinCE
based box could quite easily phone home as the WebTV boxes do, reporting
viewing habits to Microsoft.
Microsoft has even boasted of this when they announced their snooping
with WebTV: they said that getting such information in real time with a
two-way cable system would be a huge bonus for them. (Never mind that
any clued cable company would run in terror from such a thing, since
it's very questionable legally and highly illegal to give out the data
on a customer's viewing habits.)
> webtv isn't 'cable modem' technology - its a rather ugly hack.
No one said it was. A "cable box" isn't a "cable modem." If it were, I
would have said "cable modem."
These are the boxes that (at the moment) are made by companies such as
General Instruments, Zenith and Scientific Atlanta. It's where MS is
desperately trying to go, to the tune of investing five billion dollars
into AT&T to get AT&T to agree to us WinCE based boxes more. (The other
player trying to get into the biz is Sun, who is pushing Jini to use as
the OS for the same basic boxes.) The newer current boxes do use IP:
they tunnel it through an MPEG stream so that each box is indivdually
addressable.
This is the next big fight for Microsoft: it will make the so-called
"browser wars" look tame if they DOJ isn't able to kick them into
behaving. Even with the DOJ watching them right now, Microsoft is STILL
able to use it's monopoly power in one area (desktop OS) to seek a
monopoly in another (cable box controllers).
Microsoft's behavior in the world of computers will repeat itself in
the world of CATV. Expect to see things like a "MS-TV Channel Guide"
where companies like Disney that brown-nose Microsoft get better
placement than companies that don't. And if Disney talks to the
competition, Microsoft will quickly remove them from the channel guide
as they threatened to do when Disney talked to Netscape about
placement on Netcenter.

I have a similar problem with SuSE 6.1 and kernel 2.2.5. I have a 3Com Impact
IQ attached to a Turbocomm high speed serial port. The combo works perfectly
under Win98, but I can't get it to do beans in linux. The board is properly
set to its plug & play-determined port and irq in isapnp.conf, and I can get a
little bit of communication with the 3Com, but no response to AT commands.

Ah, that's one of the better parts of the PSN story. Intel's original
purpose for the PSN was that it would confirm that a CPU *didn't*
belong to you. Whether that was altogether brilliant is almost an
academic question now. Marketing got hold of it, and surmised it
could be used rather to confirm that a CPU *did* belong to you.
Consumers, in reflection upon marketing's past applications of new
technology (spam, telemarketing, junk mail) found this feature about
as advantageous as theft, and called upon Intel to turn the PSN off.
Intel responded by providing (Windows) software to do so, granting
that ability also to the one who steals your CPU. Thus, the PSN now
moreso serves what are dubious afterthoughts to its original design.
