10-12K/s is a normal speed for transferring ASCII files
(they are compressed like 3:1 by the compression protocol).
AOpen FM56-ITU/2 (ISA K56Flex/V.90, jumpers, no PnP) will give you that
same rate for just $30, and you could also save a few more cents on a
utility bill!
Best,
a.

Hi, I have a RedHat6.0 system which is on a PII350 box with M748
motherboard, which integrates video card Sis620. I used XFCom_Sis
driver for the card, and set the options in XF86config like this:
...
VideoRam 8192
Option "no_linear"
Option "sw_cursor"
Option "fast_vram"
Option "pci_burst_on"
...
The X Window displays well, but it can only support 8bpp(256 colors).
The README file of XFCom_Sis said that in no_linear mode, only this
depth is supported, but if I comment out the no_linear line, then the
texts in X will all display as underlines. Anybody knows what's the
reason? And is there a way to get round of this? I am sick of
the "Can't allocate color..." message. Thank you!

You raise a good question. Believe it or not you are in part correct.
Linux can stress certain components more than Win95/98/NT, but also has
some features which make it more friendly to long term (and stable)
Overclocking. Fiirst off both Linux and Win/NT will issue idle cycle
commands to the processor which cause it to enter a lower power state.
This is essentially the same as a number of the popular "Software CPU
coolers." The deal is that when it is in this lower power state it
generates less heat, and thus becomes more "stable" even at the elevated
core frequency (note: this is not the same as some of the utilities that
"throttle" your cpu, nor is it exactly the same as a power management
mode) At the same time Linux is less forgiving than Windows 95/98/NT and
tends to report any errors it gets that might be caused by the overclocking
procedure (sig11 errors are the most common and talked about, although
there are a number of other signs that the different compents are failing
under the overclocking.....and interesting one was one of the IDE controls
on a cheap motherboard closing various read/write calls prematurely due to
it's inability to cope with division of a 112MHz FSB)
Essentially the two operating systems behave differently. Linux likes to
scream and shout about the smallest errors......while Win95/98 believes
that ignorance is bliss....Which is better? Depends on your system's
purpose in life. For servers and workstations error detection is essential
and even a single dropped bit can throw off a high precision calculation.
For a game machine it would be obnoxious if the OS dumped core each time
Quake lost a bit while calculating the color of that pixel on the end of
your enemy's nose.
Generally the rule of thumb I stick to is that if I can stablize a system
under Linux and by that I mean that I can stress it out with large
compilation task (a good one is repeated kernel recompiles and when I say
repeated I mean 20-30 times without an error.....no joke) Then the system
will ussually be stable under any varient of Windows that I have used. The
reverse has not been true.
Just as a bit of trivia I'll give you a table of some of the processors
that I tested and the Maxium speeds that they attained under both Linux and
under Win95/98 (WinNT results were similar)

Subject: BusLogic device busy
Date: 24 Jun 1999 02:09:30 GMT
Hello all,
I recently added a BusLogic BT950 scsi adapter and a Yamaha CDRW to my
RedHat 5.1 box. Everything works fine except ... on cold boot the
buslogic module doesn't load, complaining that a device is busy. If I
follow this with a warm boot, everything works.
I don't use the CDRW very often, so can live with the boot/reboot routine
when I want to use it. But, something in me likes to have everything
right all of the time (sigh) and I was wondering if someone might know how
I could make things work on a cold boot.
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

most 56K modems are in fact K56Flex. If it is USR's x2 vs. boss's
K56Flex, then the modems fall back to V.34 protocol. V.34 protocol
is very sensitive to the noise, and even when K56Flex<->K56Flex
would give you around 45000, V.34 modems drop to 26400bps (this
is fairly typical).
One could measure the noise level: once the modem connects, tell
it `+++' and then `at%q' (which usually answers with the noise level);
to return -- press `ato'. If the noise level is well above 3 (like
20), then V.34 may be doomed to 26400bps.
Talk you boss into getting a cable modem for him and yourself ;-)
Best,
a.

No way. Could be at most 53XXX(?) Usually it tops at around 48000.

Is it actually DCE rate or DTE rate? add S95=44 to the INIT string
and read off numbers after CARRIER (DCE, carrier's rate) and CONNECT
(DTE, baud rate of the serial port).

AFAIK, there are no specific "modem drivers" in Linux (and will not
be any until winmodems and other proprietary crap become supported).

So 24000 must be DCE modem-to-modem rate...

I have an old 5 1/4" drive (720K) which Linux claims has a broken DCL.
I added the following to my rc.local (RH5.2) and it appears to work fine
now. Unfortunately I forgot where I got the floppycontrol program :(

I have copied this message forward to this branch of the thread. Im
using 2.2.5 Kernel and am getting weird effects on trying to use the 9th
device make with mknod. Any ideas?
I have a similar problem. I've followed this thread, read the
scsi-howto and scsi-programming-howto, to no avail. I have 9 scsi
drives, 3 are scsi II (with ids 1-3) and 6 uw scsi drives. id0 is uw,
and id's 8-12 are uw also. I also have narrow devices at 5 and 6 (cd and
tape). in /dev/ there are 8 devices, so I make a /dev/sdi device.
There is a big difference between what dmesg shows and what fdisk or
cfdisk show! the mknod /dev/sdi 8 144 command seems to create a device
that loops around, re-using sdd or something. I have no need for 10
logical partitions. Is there any way to make each device use less than
16 of the precious major minor bits so that I can have more than 8
devices (16 addresses x 8 devices = 128 ). What I want is 8 addresses x
16 devices). Anyone know how to make this work? I tried hacking
MAKEDEV, but screwed things up pretty well.
Ive set all drives on second channel to 20 mbps. When I boot, I see
this:
(its looks good here...)
dmesg shows:
scsi0 : BusLogic BT-952
scsi1 : BusLogic BT-952

if i do a fdisk -l sd[a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i] > file.txt, its all messed up
/out of synch with what dmesg reports. Note letter gaps, and especially
the sde and sdg devices are not the same size as the sde and sdg device
in dmesg. There should be 9 consecutive drive letters, instead i see:

Subject: anybody seen such sofware?

Hi, I'm looking for software that helps
planning, tracking, and analyzing workouts (such as for triathlon) under
linux. I know there are such things for Windows. (i.e RunLog.) Anybody
seen something like that? I would really apreciate if you can let me
know about it.
thanks a lot.
