I've managed to get CD audio, digital CD audio & wave (mp3) to work. As far
as I understand, their drivers are still in very early beta
and MIDI is not supported yet.

Correct, the driver is compiled for 2.2.5. But if you use smth like 'insmod
soundcore; insmod -f sblive' instead of 'modprobe sblive' or
'modprobe sound', it works with 2.2.9 too. Some buggy with 2.2.10.

There is no other driver, IMHO. OSS is trying to produce smth, but it is
also in early beta stages.

2.1b is very old. The latest stable version i found at the official ftp site
is 2.5 released in 1997! A 2.5.3 beta version from 1998 is available at

XFmail has 2 problems: no longer maintained (last release one year ago) and it
uses a very restrictive toolkit (XForms, only distributed with binaries).
But it's a good MUA. Too bad the author forgot it.

Hmm. If you don't like Kmail, I really don't know what you can do. Maybe
running Eudora with vmware? hehe. Just kidding. Linux really lacks a
powerfull and stable GUI MUA. Try XCmail (it uses XClasses) and XFmail
(XForms). If you want a very simple one but not too much, try Spruce.

Hi,

I'd just like to know how to raise the volume of a WAV
number with the sox program: I've tried several stuffs,
like "sox ifile.wav -v 2.0 ofile.wav" and many others,
but I can hear no difference in volume level when I
play both files afterwards...

Does anybody here know the proper syntax ??

Thanks a lot !

Presumably this means that as far as you're concerned, any wars in which 
the US didn't participate never happened at all. How lovely it must be to

Why not?  Unless you object to paying more for PM than for Redhat.

(replace the word Redhat with your favorite distribution).

Of course, if you make the boot partition to begin with within the limit
you won't need PM.

However, the lilo loader uses the standard int13 call to access the disk
and this does have 1024 cyl limit regardless of bios.  To access the
disk beyond cyl 1024 using the new bios needs a modified lilo loader
that can use the new extended int13 call that is required.

This is also true for Solaris x86.

On Linux just try to type a ^C on a telnet/rsh session while the Linux
box is writing to a NFS filesystem that is mounted from a Sun.

You will need to power cycle the Linux box ;-)

What sendmail requires is that any network interface with an IP number
has a fully qualified address specified in /etc/hosts, or defined via DNS.
A single hostname without dot something is not sufficient, and the delay
is caused by sendmail waiting for DNS to provide the "dot something"
for the hostname.

Also check for disk space - I believe that some shells want to create a 
small file on login, and if there's not enough disk space they'll just 
not let you log in.

You'll need to install it on both the Mac (just the viewer) and your

Hi,

  I am using cdrecord since a while, and never had any trouble with it, 
except since few weeks now than I can not make it work anymore anywhere...
So as I am desperated after I tried everything I could think about, here 
is the details about the problem.

My first station is a P2 400Mhz / Asus motherboard / tekram scsi card with
and PlexWriter PX-R412C Rev: 1.06. 
>From dmesg | more I can get:

        scsi : detected 1 SCSI cdrom total.
=====================================================================

So it looks like everything is fine on this side.

I make an iso image of about 300M and I type:

        miami:/# cdrecord dev=0,4,0 speed=4 -v -dummy test.img

test.img is fine as I can mount it with -o loop option (and I verified it).
I tried speed=2 and speed=1 also, does not work neither. For fun i also tried
without the -dummy option, and the result was a dead CD :-( (didn't work...)
The station is running a Debian 2.1 slink. As it was not working, I upgraded
the cdrecord package to the potato one which is "cdrecord 1.8a20-1", nothing
changed, still not working. For your informations I am running a 2.0.36 kernel.
I tried different blank CD (just to see) nothing changed.

Here is the complete message I got from cdrecord:

As you see I got a "scsi sendcmd: retryable error" and after I searched

see any answer...

I also got the same problem at home with a plexwriter / Adaptec 2940 U2W / 
2.2.10 kernel (tried from 2.0.36 to 2.2.10). And I tried a plexwriter of a 
friend that was working 5 min before at his home, but it still does not at 
mine...

If anyone has an idea, an answer, or anything to help, I would *really* 
appreciate it :-)

For @Home:
You don't need the win software, at least to work with mailboxes.  Try this page:

In (OS/2) tcpcfg.exe and netscape settings I had to add my subdomain name to all
my
addresses did you guys too?  Like instead of using just 'mail' or 'news' like they

said and have it figure out what you need, I had to tell it
'mail.strhg1.mi.home.com'
It must have something to with the way it resolves addresses and maybe windows
does it o.k.  I did set my local domain name in tcpcfg.exe to strhg1.mi.home.com
but it did not matter.

Also I could not get DHCP to work.  It says it could not download the parameters
or something like that.  Anyone else get it to work?  Or is it some kind of
windows
proprietary DHCP (I think they use NT servers)?

Hello,

I have my /usr/local/etc/mtools.conf setup with the following line:
drive h:        file="/dev/cdrom"

and my /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660         ro              0 0

Yet mtools says 'Cannot initialise non-DOS drive H:'. If I 'mount
/mnt/cdrom' it works fine, so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Matt

Hello,

> I have the TEAC 55S.  I'm not sure what you mean by 'on the fly' but,

Right, 'On the fly' = direct copy between src AUDIO CD and TARGET CD R
(copy of entire cd, directly)
My CD recorder is a TEAC 55S like you.
My problem about it was 'how writing a cd audio on the fly ??'

Thank you for advices.
