Have a look at http://hpoj.sourceforge.net
I even made som SuSE 7.0 rpms, that will have all to get you started, after
installing the rpm. you will have a daemon started each time you boot
(/sbin/init.d/ptal-printd), then you can use the device
/dev/ptal-printd/mlc_mlcpp0 as if it where /dev/lp0, the rpms are found on
http://213.237.48.227/~jarl/hpoj/
Good luck,

ASF is short for "advanced streaming format" ... or something alike
It´s a video codec invented by Micro$oft which has a pretty high
compression rate.
there´s a plug-in for XMMS available which is supposed to play
AVI´s, DivX and ASF files at:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/avi-xmms/homepage/
I haven´t tried it yet, though

It wouldn't be a bad idea to give a Linux hardware vendor a call to spec
out a system from them, even if you don't intend to buy one.
They deal with these kinds of questions everyday, and have a better
idea than I do about scalability.
My opinion is that your hardware is sufficient, and the software you pick
would be possibly more important than hardware. QPopper seems to be
popular with some larger companies:

You can try to get yourself a used BP6 board. Works with Celeron-I's only.
But I would say a single P3 (256kb cache vs. 128kb on Celeron) is better for
memory hungry apps (such as sql).

'ifconfig -a' doesn't reflect which interfaces are active, 'ifconfig'
does.
It's probably a driver problem, I've seen some people leave a ping
running from the system to prevent it from doing this. It wouldn't hurt
to try a newer kernel.

I'd play with the PNP-OS option in the BIOS, and make sure you're using
an SMP kernel, if you do havea dual proc system.

Some RAID drivers in Linux (Mylex I know for sure) do not allow you to
attach anything other than hard disks to the RAID controller. The
linux documentation on the Compaq RAID driver should tell you if that's
the case.

The Debian resuce/root disks should come in handy. If it doesn't compile
in support for your SCSI controller, you can compile your own kernel and
copy it to the rescue disk as 'linux' (the disk is in msdos format), then
run the 'rdev.sh' script.
After booting from the rescue/root, press alt-f2 to get a console.

Except that ES1371 cards do not *have* a /dev/sndstat, even when they're
working perfectly. Won't help. The output of "cat /proc/pci" as it
relates to the ES1371 in question, as well as the output of "uname -a",
would help more. Some newer ES1371 cards ( > revision 6) don't work at
all with older versions of the kernel, since the details of how the

Doing step 3 makes it difficult to fix certain problems with modules
that take parameters. The ES1371 module only takes a "joystick="
parameter, but for an ISA card that takes a large number of parameters,
putting the sound directly into the kernel is a good way to waste lots
of time rebooting/recompiling when those parameters are incorrect.

Recall that PCI cards are inserted upside-down, relative to ISA

the computer.

You can put in either a PCI or an ISA card, but not both at the same

Yes. The "PCxxx" rating specifies (mostly) only the maximum speed at
which the manufacturer guarantees the chip will operate reliably.
Sometimes there are perverse irregularities with timing, but I think
that's mostly been done away with in modern chips.

I have an old Pentium 75 (yes, that's 75MHz) box with 24Mb RAM and a 2Gb
harddrive with Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP running some question/answer
bulletin board. It gets about 50 hits (peak) per hour _with database access_

If your server won't get a heavy load then your idea is a bit of overkill.
You could go for a second hand machine for some US$50-100 to make your ideas
work.
Just make sure that if you want to use some ready-to-use distribution (like
Redhat) that you turn off any unneeded services and use/make a kernel that
fits your hardware. Another thing is that it would be smart to compile the
stuff from tarballs and not use pre-compiled binaries. If you compile the
stuff yourself, you can optimize the code for your machine to make it lean
and fast. It really is not much extra work and it does pay off in the end.
Last, but not least: if you want to run mailing lists, may I suggest using
Qmail as your MTA.
Good luck,

I'd go for any Realtec based card, on a 10Mbit network (my experiences) they
work beautifully and they are reliable.
The 10Mbit ISA versions should cost no more then US$10-15, if you can get
them.
