Subject: modems & scanners under linux
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 23:59:41 +0000
For starters I can get my modem to connect to my ISP but netscape will
not use that connection. Another thing that is strange about it is that
minicom is the only program that can get the modem to dial. Unless I
use minicom, a channel is opened between the com port and modem, but the
modem never goes on hook. Just in case some one needs to know I am
running Red Hat 6.0, on a x86 machine.
Also if anyone has any info on getting a Philps IDE CD-R to work in
linux let me know.
I would also like some information on getting a scanner to work under
linux. I am thinking of purchasing one and would like to know how to
get one to work under linux.

I can't speak for your monitor but I use a Millenium II and my best
suggestion is to run XF86Setup and select the Millenium II from the
video card menu and select one of the generic type monitors from the
monitors section.

No NO! You're not stuck. The HP 720 is a "Windows Only" printer,=20
that uses an HP proprietary printer protocol. Luckily, some very=20
ambitious fellow has figured out how this protocol works, and wrote=20
some nifty software that lets Linux use the HP 720 and 892 series=20
printers. I cannot remember the web site, but do a search for pbm2ppa=20

white printing... a color driver is in the works, I think.)

Subject: beep codes...help!
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 09:13:40 -0400
Here's the specs on a new system I just put together:
mobo: FIC PA-2013 1MB cache
Award BIOS
AMD K6-2 400Mhz
1 128MB DIMM
Matrox Millennium II 4MB PCI
SB 16 sound card ISA
running Linux & Win98
Everything was running fine for a week or so and then suddenly the computer
wouldn't boot. At that point there were NO beeps. All hard disks would
spin up, fans, light, all worked fine. I believe there was signal to the
monitor because the brighter light that usually indicates it's getting a
signal was on (not the sleep light), but the display was black. I tried
moving the vid card to other slots.. didn't work. I tried an old Cirrus
Logic I had (also PCI)... still didn't work. Finally I reseated my DIMM and
the processor. Bingo!
Now a couple days later during boot it only counted up to 64MB RAM rather
than all 128MB. Then suddenly it wouldn't boot again, but now I'm getting
one long beep followed by two short beeps. An Award error document I read
said that this means there is a problem with the video signal. I've gone
through all the same steps of swapping vid cards again with no luck. I
reseated the DIMM and processor again like last time, but it's not helping
either. I'm suspecting a memory problem, but at this point I don't have
another DIMM I can try. Am I on the right track here? Is there something
else with the video side of it that I'm overlooking?? Oh, and yes I plugged
my monitor into my laptop and it works fine too.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated. I was hoping to have a smooth running
system at this point, not another nightmare.
thanks in advance!

I've tried and tested a Linux version for the Psion Series 5. It used up most
of my 8Mb memory (kernel, "disk-image" etc.) but it works! Getting stuff to and
from the Linux S5 was awkward because it had to be in diskimages. It's been a
while since I last played with it, so I've forgotten where I got it from. Must
have been the "PsionKing" site or something.

I understand that MCA support is built into the 2.2 series kernals.

Does anyone know if the HP SCSI-2 (narrow) TR-5 drives they ship with the HP
E60's are Linux compatible? I am assuming they are.. SCSI based and HP is
advertising Linux for the low-end boxes.. If anyone knows first hand, I
would appreciate it though..
