Don't forget the line:

Subject: Lucent win modem
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 00:43:46 -0500
Anybody get a Lucent Winmodem to work with linux? Do I have to disable the
pnp function somehow and if I do that, will it screw up Windows 98? I am
running both -dual booting with Linux and Win 98 and soon to be NT server
and need the modem for all os's. Any ideas?

Subject: multiple device with disks of different type
Date: 28 Jun 1999 15:05:17 GMT
In a sense, the answer to my question is given in Software Raid
mini HOWTO. I would like, however, to have a more precise one to
the following case.
Can I use safely a multiple device (linear personality) created
out of a partition (about 150Mb) of an IDE disk with DMA enabled
and an entire IDE disk (old one, 162Mb) without it ? Or the type
of disks used is absolutely indiferent ?
I have recently experienced strange things while compiling on this
partition: *.xpm files with the attribute of a character device,
unusually huge files, moreover all unremovable even by root.
The kernel versions are 2.2.9 and 2.3.1. The mainboard is an EPoX's
EP-MVP3G-M with VT82C586. I have enabled the experimental support
for this chip.

Subject: Apple Laserwriter on serial port
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 16:33:23 +0200
Hi,
I want to get my old Apple Laserwriter working under Linux (2.2.5
kernel, Red Hat 6.0). Does anyone know how to do that? I suppose I
connected it to COM2 and put the switch on the Laserwriter to 9600. I
tried something like this in /etc/printcap:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/ttyS1:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
:br#9600:
I configured this with printtool under Red Hat. But when I send a
postscript file, nothing happens. The orange led doesn't flicker and lpq
says that the printer is ready and printing. Please help.

Subject: Millenium Video and Sony Monitor problem
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 11:59:26 -0400
Hello all,
I'm new to Linux and just installed Red Hat 6.0 onto my system, which
has a K6-200, 64 Megs RAM, plenty of disk space. I have a Matrox
Millenium MGA card and a Sony CPD-200SX 17" monitor. In Windows and OS/2
I use a resolution of 1024X768 with a 85hz non-interlaced refresh rate.
In installing Linux, Xconfigurator detected my video card fine, and my
monitor was listed by name. I selected them both, checked off the
appropriate resolutions and color depths, and everything seemed fine.
When I booted into linux, however, I discovered I was getting an
interlaced screen (the refresh was a strange 76hz that I'd never seen
before): flickering and all.
By the way, Linux had a problem detecting the "clockchip" or whatever
that is, so I selected the "no clockchip" option as advised by the
install program.
I tried re-installing Linux and manually entering the refresh rates from
the Sony manual, but the outcome was just the same: a flickering
display.
What can I do to get the high refresh rate that I am used to?
Thanks,
Boris

This is for a Synchronous Serial Adapter made by Comtrol.
I'm using 2.2.x kernels.
