It's not really hard!!
Turn $6.00 into $1,000 or more...read this to find out how!! READING
THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!! I found this on a bulletin board
anddecided
to try it. A little while back, while chatting on the internet, I came
across an article
similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars in cash
within weeks
with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right,
this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept
reading. Anyway,
it said that you send $1.00 to each of the six names and address
statedin the
article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the
list at #6, and
post the article in at least 200 newsgroups (There are thousands) or
e-mail them. No
catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few
people first, I
thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6
stamps and$6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS
WHAT!!...
within 7 days, I
started getting cash in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would
endsoon,
but the cash kept coming in. In the first week, I made about $20.00.
By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $300.00! Inthe
third
week I have made a total of just over $1,000.00 and it's still coming
rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps, I have spent more
than that on the
lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it
works...Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you
canget the
information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you
followthe
directions exactly, that you will start making more cash than you
thought possible by doingsomething so easy!!
**Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the cash come
in!It's easy.
It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)IMPORTANT:
This is
not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it =
isvirtually
no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are
adhered to, you will
receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow
thesedirections
EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This
program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the
instructions. You
will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
yourproduct
is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business
ofdeveloping
Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for
quality lists.
However, the cash made from the mailing lists is secondary to the
incomewhich is
made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list.
**Here are the 4 easy steps to sucess: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces
of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT =
ME ON
YOUR
MAILING LIST." Now get six U.S. $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH
of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the
envolope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6
envelops and seal
them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece ofpaper
stating
the above phrase and your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What
youare doing
is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!! You are requesting a
legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a
little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it
all. So I checked it
out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that
it is indeedlegal! Mail the 6 envelops to the following addresses:
#1) Charlie Burtoff/ 3704 Barrington Bridge Place / Richmond, Va 23233
#2) Richard Salin/ Hirsalantie 233, 02420 Jorvas, Kirkkonummi, Finland
#3) Hunter Parrish / Rt 1 Box 334 / Blakely, Ga 31723
#4) Robert Brantley/ 110 Lanier Apt.10/ Statesboro, Ga 30458
#5) Richard Carr / PO Box 429/ Oakhurst, NJ 07755
#6) Idan BergMan/ 9/13 Hama'ayan st., Rishon le-zion 75210, Israel
Step 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
theother
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as =
number6
on
the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this
article as close
to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least
200 newsgroups.
(I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but
remember, the more
you post, the more cash you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have
any doubts,
refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a
copy of these
steps for yourself and, whenever you need cash, you can use it =
again,and
again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of
thehonesty
and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to =
the
directions. Look
at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and
the cash that so many
others have received will come your way. Note: You may want to retain
every name and
address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the
notes people send
you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it
might be a idea to
wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So,
as each post is
downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be
reimbursed for
their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name
will move up the
list geometrically so that when you name reaches the #1 position you
will be receiving
thousands of cash in CASH!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00
for each ofthe first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own
name to
the list and you're in
business!-------DIRECTIONS-----FOR HOW TO POST NEWSGROUPS---------
Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put
your cursor at hte beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the
bottom of this
document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the
entire letter into the
computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your
cursor at the
top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
paste a copy of the
letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3)
Save your newnotepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your =
posting
in
different settings, you'll
always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet
explorer and
try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message
boards,chat sites,
discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article
as a new message
by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the
edit menu. Fill in the
Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll
through the list of
postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're
done with your first
one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to
different newsgroups
post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds
for each newsgroup!**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE
MORE Cash
YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's
it! You will begin receiving cash from around the world within days!
You may eventually
want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will
receive. If you wish to
stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman
will deliver it.**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now
the
WHY
part: Out of 200 posting, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I
made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 people
who just sent
me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and
only5 people
respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now
those 25 each make
200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I
willbring in an
additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post
theMINIMUM 200
with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $626.00!
OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM
200 letters
with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made
me $3,125.00!!!
Those 3,125 people will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with
my name at#1 and if still 5 people per 200 newsgroups react I will
receive
$15,625.00! With an
original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no
longeron the
list, you just take the lastest posting in the newsgroups, and send out
another $6.00 to
the names on the list, putting you name at number 6 again. And start
posting again.
The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all
over the world are
joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE =
YOU
are now!!So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think
so...
People have said,
"what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the cash?" So
what! What are the
chances of that happening when there are tons of honest users and new
honest people
who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to
give it a try?
Estimates are 20,000 to 50,000 new users, everyday, with thousands of
those joiningthe actual internet.
***Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.
Yours sincerely,
Idan BregMan

One little caveat about these multilink modems..... before going out and
buying one and installing it on your system, make sure your ISP supports
multilinking. I know my ISP doesn't support it and I'm sure many don't
since they don't want to give 1 person 2 dynamic IPs and tie up their
resources. I think if you want a fast connection, you might as well go with
DSL or cable.

Of course. You can as well make a list of "unexpected" uses of cat,
especially on Linux. My favourites:
cat /boot/mbr.b > /dev/hda # Write 444byte MBR to disk
cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda # Wipe out a disk (DELETE)
Or copy a floppy:
cat /dev/fd0 > floppy.img
superformat /dev/fd0 # after insert of new disk ;)
cat floppy.img > /dev/fd0
Or create a compressed image of a hard disk for later cloning:
mount /dev/hdaX /mnt
cat /dev/zero > /mnt/bigwaste.tmp
rm /mnt/bigwaste.tmp
umount /mnt
gzip -9c < /dev/hda > /store/hda.hdimg.gz
In the last example, cat is used quite creative, isn't it ? ;->

Bearing in mind that I'm far from being an expert here are some rough
calculations:
Suppose a small ISP only has one US T1 connection and so a "bandwidth"
of 1.536 mHz. Now a rule of thumb is that networks bog down when use
exceeds about 70% of the bandwidth so that brings it down to 1.075 mHz or
1075 kHz available. If each customer is to be guaranteed 56 kHz then the
ISP would need limit the number of connected customers to exactly 19.2 .
Another rule of thumb is that an ISP should provide one connection for
every 10 customers, which seems to be the threshold of pain for busy
signals during peak hours. So the ISP would need to have no more than
192 customers. The ISP expenses are such that this very likely would
mean that only the relatively affluent could get on the Internet.
The reality is that the ISP will allow 200 connections (and more in many
cases) and use a customer base of 2000 (and more in many cases). Which
brings us to 5.6 kHz per customer when fully loaded, or 700 Bps/customer.
This estimate doesn't include a factor for the quality of service found
at the ISP's T1 provider.
Not everyone is ftping files so this is a bit pessimistic but you get
the idea.

Hey Jacob,
Lets call machine with the cdrom Red
One to be doing the mounting Blue
Add this to your /etc/exports file on Red:
/mnt/cdrom Blue.domain.com(ro)
where /mnt/cdrom is where you have the cdrom mounted (on Red). Run exportfs to
update the exports.
Then go to Blue and create a directory called /mnt/Red . Then issue the
command:
mount Red:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/Red
This says mount the machine Red in the directory /mnt/cdrom and put it in
/mnt/Red. cd to /mnt/Red (on Blue) and ls and you should see a listing of the
cd's contents.
Hope this helps,

You�d probably do exactly that - round-robin with DNS. Give each mail server
its own IP address, but specify a common name in DNS and DNS will automatically
hand out each IP address in turn.
Problem you will have that the mail files will still be on a central (NFS?)
server, which still gets all the load. And that load may well be not very
different from the load of a centralized POP server. Or are you going to
replicate all the mail files across a number of machines?

That�s ok. If nslookup does not find an A record for netscape.com, it
returns something else. Probably the IP address of the mail server for the
netscape.com domain. I don�t know which one exactly, but try to nslookup the
IP address you got. So netscape.com is not a regular hostname with a regular
IP address, and you can�t ping it.
You should be able to ping www.netscape.com though...

I haven�t browsed the sources, but I guess not. Reason: nslookup is designed
to contact the name servers *directly*, not through the regular routines.
That�s why it is called nslookup. If you need a tool which uses
gethostbyname, try host.

That's correct. It's to catch packets of a former connection which are
still floating around the net. If you have access to the source code you
could change it to set the SO_REUSEADDR socket option to be able to
bind a new listener even during the time the old socket is in the state
TIME_WAIT.

All relevante information (authentification) is missing here between these
two lines.
Check /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets depending on your
provider. Turn on debugging in /etc/ppp/ioptions.

I assume you checked that portmap was up and running,
can you do a "rpcinfo -p <hostname>"?
