Well, I use apsfilter at home, and I do agree it work great. However,
apsfilter is pretty much a non-issue here. We're taking plain text
documents and feeding them directly into a line printer. No graphics or
anything else are involved... in fact, I believe this to be more a
communications issue than a driver issue. So, I don't think apsfilter
is a solution. Thanks anyway, though. :)

Hi,
I have an odd problem with incoming network connections (outgoing always
seems to be fine). Sometimes (and there doesn't seem to be a pattern to
these times), my computer will suddenly stop responding to outside
connections. I'm not able to ping it, ssh in, etc. etc. When I
traceroute it, the traceroute stops one hop before my computer:
traceroute to bistromath.Stanford.EDU (171.66.65.41), 30 hops max, 38 byte
packets
1 res-gateway (171.66.16.1) 1.435 ms 0.927 ms 0.911 ms
2 Core3-gateway (171.64.3.98) 1.524 ms 1.323 ms 1.188 ms
3 jenkins-gateway (171.64.3.13) 1.979 ms 2.146 ms 1.365 ms
However, I _can_ access it from the other computer in my room (which
doesn't need to go through the gatways). Eventually, it just starts
responding to connections again (i.e., I don't have to do anything). I
can't find anything in the logs which seems out of the ordinary.
Oh, I'm using a Red Hat system with a 2.2.9 kernel, DHCP (pumpd running).
Is there something I should look for in the network configuration, or is
it possible the router is just screwy?
Thanks,
Janet

Some disks used a couple of physically bad sectors to prevent copying.
Upon bootup, the software on the disk would read those bad sectors, if
they were indeed bad (returned an error), the software would note this
and proceed normally. If the sectors were good (no errors), it probably
meant the disk was a copy, and the software would fail to proceed.

The system is confused about what time zone your hardware clock keeps.
I suppose that it thinks that it keeps UTC, so during the summer it sets
your system (software) clock to be one hour ahead of the hardware clock.
There must be some configuration file that indicates the situation.
(If no one remembers where Red Hat has put it, you can start by hunting
for "hwclock" invoked with the "--hctosys" flag in the startup scripts.)

ID for /dev/hda3 should be f (win'95 extended)!!!
I tried exact the same partition as above with ID=5 (dos extended)
and win98 had problems installing (i guess because it was >8GB and with
dos extended LBA is not enabled under dos). after trying sometime i
changed the ID to f and everything worked.

Yeap, you may be able to configure WinModem to work in Linux boxes,
however, I got work from vendor that Toshiba modified their Satellite
2100 series with hardware modem instead of software modem or WinModem.
Manufacturing Winmodem is more economical, however, they'll have to
consider there's now another M$ Windows' alternative.

That means he's promoting WinModem and Microsoft Windows. Somehow I
got a word from Toshiba vendor, their 2100 series to 2108 has now
hardware modem, not software modem or Winmodem.

Subject: Re: Using dd to copy copy-protected floppies
Date: 30 Mar 2000 15:20:33 -0500
One of the old methods of copy protecting disks was to use a laser
to burn marks in them to get "bad" sectors. Therefore these would be normally
marked offically bad using DOS's diskcopy. I don't know if dd will do what you
want, but there were a number of DOS programs to overcome this like copyiipc,
masterkey, and others... but at this point good luck finding them. :) (best
yet is to find the copyiipc hardware, an ISA card meant to copy ANYTHING and it
did.)
In addition there were also a number of programs to remove the copy
protection, by defeating the INT 10 call to read this so called "bad" sector.
But were're talking the 80's here... this is why copy schemes died a pathetic
death.
Good luck,
-John
ps. however if you're really cool you can fire it up using DOSEMU, let the
program fail and cause a core dump and examine what its really trying to do
and put a jump instruction in... there was a "multi-session" program for DOS
which let you run multiple instances of DOS saving the memory of each one to a
file when you switched, many a program was defeated this way.

Hmmm..
I had the same problem on a 10 gig IBM deskstar.
Nobody at linux.setup was able to help me there, but I found a workaround:
It seems like I have to modify the partition table in dos fdisk, restart,
boot directly into the install-process (not going into DOS inbetween!), and
then partition, and all's well... Except for that if I quit diskdruid, and
reopen it, it just shows the same damn message!
In windows, the old partitions, that I deleted to create space for linux,
are still there, unaware of that they now are linux ext2, windows thinks
they are DOS-compatible filesystems and fat16. Veeery irritating.
Weird stuff.

Subject: networking question DHCP + local?
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 21:56:35 GMT
Hi,
OK, I'm still plowing my way thru the intricacies of networking-
I have 2 machines, one with W95 and Linux, and the other with Linux only.
That's Mandrake linux-
I have them both online via DHCP in each machine, roadrunner and a hub.
So what's confusing me is how can I get the two machines talking to each
other, file access and so on?!
This is normally easy to solve with a little reading. But I'm confused by
the presence of DHCP.
Please! How can I get a net between these two local machines?
Is it really as simple as adding internal IP numbers (e.g. the
198.162.xxx.yyy type) and using say FTP betwewen the machines?
I'm afraid this is an idiotic question, I'll see..
Thanks whatever!
