Hi,
I am planning to buy a "Efficient Networks SpeedStream 4060" DSL
Modem. It is USB Modem. Question is will this work on Linux. Could
please someone let me know. Also has anybody used a winfire.com's Free
DSL on Linux OS??
The spec for "Efficient Networks SpeedStream 4060 " can be found at
the following link.

Hi Matt,
Take a look at linuxtv.org
I know the Hauppauge DVB-S card works, I have heard that the Siemens card,
the Technotrend card, and perhaps the Skymedia card works as well.

I got the same problem with my computer. I could boot only using linux but
not Windows.
Furthermore I could mount and see the Windows partition from linux .
I used Norton Disk Doctor to examine the boot sectors and I found out that
there are 2 copies of FAT,
one of them was corrupted. For this reason Windows was not able to read the
hard disk anymore.
I tried to use "fsck" to repair the fat with no results.
I installed Windows 98 and linux again and now everything is working
properly.

The driver for the Lucent winmodem doesn't work any more from the kernel
2.2.16 .
If you have this kind of modem, you have to patch and compile the Kernel.You
have to patch the tty.h file. I did it and
now my modem works properly ( I have an Acer Travel Mate 516TE).
Here it is a link to a page where you can find the instructions to resolve
your problem:

I believe Norton Disk Doctor can copy the good FAT to the bad one.
Did you try that? It might have saved you from having to reinstall Windows.

Hello,
I try to get a D-Link DFE-680 TX running SUSE 6.4 with kernel 2.2.14.
Just bind "tulip_cb" seems not to work. The card starts,
ifconfig eth0 seems to work, but does in fact not assign
the IP to the card and the network is unreachable.
Probably one needs the proper options, the ones suggested
for DFE-660 TX do not work.
I would be grateful for any hint.
Timo

Pavan,
If it would work at all, you'd need the 2.4 kernel. However, I'm not sure if
even the 2.4 kernel would support USB for a DSL modem.

Maybe you have these problems because you hit a ctrl-key combination?
Ctrl-Z usually means to stop a program. If you don't want to use another
key on your keyboard for backpedal, you might want to make your
control-key become caps-lock and caps-lock become ctrl? This is probably
possible using showkey and loadkeys.

Subject: Soundboard recommendation sought
Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 13:46:07 -0500
Greetings,
I'm currently running RH7 with KDE 2.0.1 and all of the updates on my
desktop system at home. Everything is running well with no complaints. My
soundboard, however, is an el-cheapo Soundblaster 16 PCI. I'm looking to
upgrade it to something that is more capable -- wavetable synthesis,
multiple MIDI voices, etc. I'm looking for a recommendation on what to get.
I'd previously been using a Soundblaster 16 ISA with the wave daughterboard
and DSP chip, and I was VERY happy with that. My new motherboard (a
Supermicro PIIIDM3), however, is PCI only, so I can't use that.
So, I'm looking for recommendations for a wavetable PCI-based soundboard
that works well in RedHat Linux. Please send them to me and I'll summarize
the suggestions back to the group.
Thanks,
Ken

Try these guys: http://www.satech.com/; I've bought a couple of old
Intel CPUs from them.
I think the P120 was ~$16.

My comment (if you look at it carefully) was in reply to Fabio's post in which
he indicates that he used NDD to see two FATs on his drive, one of them corrupt.
I apologize for the ambiguity.

No dice. It requires a device specific driver, and Efficient has not
done one, nor have they released anything where someone else could. You
need ethernet.

That's quite true, but one word of caution re NECX--don't expect to get a
refund from them, even if they make an error. They have 10^6 plausible
stories about your refund being on the way, but it will never appear on your
account.
If you have a problem, file a "Billing Error" notice with your credit card
company AT ONCE, and let them deal with it.

Subject: PCI/ISA Slots--What?
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 20:06:36 -0000
What are mobo slots designated as "PCI/ISA"? Do they fit and work with
either type of card? Will Linux accept them?
TIA,
