RE:smdiag
Two:when I should try my soundcard with smdiag I can't find it! I do find smmixer but not smdiag. How come? I have found that smdiag is not really all that critical. it looks wizzo but you can easily do it by trial and error thus: start a rxvt and start listen -aht now you can use smmixer to adjust your levels until you see packets being received. note that smmixer has different parameters and values depending on the card's chipset. some cards seem to have no way to adjust input levels.

IRQ9 and 10 wer set to "legacy ISA" I have an old motherboard/BIOS no large disk support and all that. I don't think it does any of that sort of thing so I should be right?? Not sure about setting the irqs. Still deciding whether to use a newer (RH, 2.2.14-12 shiny new) or older (Debian with 2.0.36---tried true) kernel.

Here's the launch script I use. fantastic, Thank you very much. And here's the relevant parts of the isapnp.conf file I call in the above to set up the soundcards only the uncommented lines are used. The whole file is initially generated with "pnpdump" and you edit the relvant lines to match the card settings. This listing will give you the exact card details on my system. magic!

Dual Soundmodems
Hi Has anyone had any success running TWO soundmodems on the one machine? I expect this would require insmod-ing the modules twice but so far no luck here One card is a ESS which starts up correctly on io 0x220 irq 5 dma 1 The other is a "ISA PnP Crystal wavetable" s/c of chinese origin. If I simply remove the ESS and substitute the other card it fires up no worries with the same startup script. I would like to try getting both going on the one machine one at 1200, one at 4800 or 9600 and set it up as a server/bbs etc for our club, the Hills Amateur Radio Group. We are hoping a 486DX4/100 32M core 2.5G hda will do the job but maybe a little ambitious? cheers 73 VK6PEC Peter Perth WA

I've tried the ESS card at irq 5 and the PnP at irq 7 but no go. and installed them as SM0 and SM1 just as you would a single one. When I try sethdlc on the second card it prepares the resources but when ifconfig time comes the 2.2.14-12 kernel says something like "WSS: no card configured at 0x534, IO: 0xff" trying it at 0xff gives "operation not permitted." trying it with 2.0.36 and setcrystal and I get "operation not supported by device". Also if I put the two cards in the 2.0.36 machine and run my usual (single ESS card) startup script it no longer works correctly. I'm wondering now if I should rewrite it so it configures that card first (using only sethdlc) and then setcrystal the other card?

relevance
Hi hams I may be going off "half-cocked" here but last time I checked. Consider how people become subscribers to linux-hams. Generally I would say that they notice a "HAM HOWTO" and an "AX25-HOWTO" amongst the docs on their freshly installed but still rather mysterious system or they notice the "AMATEUR RADIO" menu in config when they compile their first kernel. Terry Dawson's Howtos were excellent manuals when first written but they have not been maintained for a long time and are now obsolete. I don't think I have the experience or the time to maintain them myself. This means that setting up linux amateur radio will be a disappointing experience for anyone who follows them. Then they will read the last page which recommends this list. Many of them (like myself) will be behind a corporate firewall and therefore unable to access archived stuff. Remember that many of these people have only ever experienced the more common types of commercial operating systems and are in need of sympathy and rehabilitation, not chastisement and ridicule. Abusing bewildered newcomers will drive them away and turn them into ENEMIES OF LINUX. Is that what we want? cheers 73 de vk6pec
RE: relevance
They're not _that_ obsolete; they just need to be updated a bit. In the AX.25 howto, simply mentioning where to get the new utilities, libs etc. would go a very long way. IMHO the following details would be good to include: 1. updated details of the ax25 tools, apps, libs etc and some discussion of the best way to arrange them in a linux fs 2. some details of how to build a start up and shut down script and link them with /etc/rc.d 3. a discussion of specific ways to run some of the various packages now available. (bbs's aprsd, rspf etc etc) 4. tricks and tips for compiling recent kernels including module management 5. some stuff about DAMA and hf packet. I'd be willing to work on it too; I told Terry so a while back. But he was waiting to see if the latest people who had volunteered were actually going to do anything. -- ___ Shawn T.

RE: soundmodem
Yes, I've been using it at 1200 baud and I can say that it has
worked faultlessly now for 9 months.
I have used Soundblaster 16 and ESS cards
I havent tried it at 2400, 4800 or 9600 but these speeds are
supported.
I cannot tell you how it works. Tom Sailer is the soundmodem's
developer.
To set it up, you will need to recompile your kernel to support it
either as a loadable module ("driver")
or build it in. This is better, IMHO. If you build modules, they
will clash with the sound drivers and lock up the machine
unless you are careful to remove those first.
The ax25-tools package contains three main progs for getting it up
and running: sethdlc for configuring the interface
smdiag for graphical analysis at AF level and smmixer for adjusting
levels etc. read about it in AX25-HOWTO but take note of some of my recent
posts...
While on the subject, has anyone tried running TWO soundmodems
simultaneously? I have a recent crystal chipset ISA sound card and I'd like
to get this doing 9600 while the ESS does 1200 on the same machine The idea
is to build a club BBS with UHF backbone conn.

HURRAY FOR BRITAIN. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 5 June 2000 6:11 pm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: When you wake on Thursday 5 October next, you will find yourself living in a different country. An ancient bulwark of English law - the principle that someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty - will have been overturned. And that is just for starters. From that date also the police and security services will enjoy sweeping powers to snoop on your email traffic and web use without let or hindrance from the Commissioner for Data Protection. Every UK internet service provider (ISP) will have to install a black box which monitors all the data-traffic passing through its computers, hard- wired to a special centre currently being installed in MI5's London headquarters. This new mass surveillance facility is called the Government Technical Assistance Centre (GTAC). Who said Jack Straw had no sense of humour? The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIP) Bill which is now before the Lords gives the Home Secretary powers of interception and surveillance which would be the envy of the most draconian regime. In addition to encroaching on civil liberties, the same Bill will also drive hordes of e-commerce companies from Britain to countries like Ireland where their encryption keys - extended pin numbers allowing users to decipher jumbled data - will be protected from government prying. An administration which complains continually about making Britain 'the most e-friendly country in the world' by 2002 is busily making sure that exactly the opposite happens. How has this extraordinary state of affairs come about? Is it another manifestation of the cock-up theory of history, or are there more sinister forces at work? The answer is a bit of both. For some time, it has been obvious to Ministers and civil servants that British law needed updating to cope with the internet. In an era when online trading becomes ubiquitous, for example, some way has to be found of making 'digital signatures' legally valid. Accordingly, a special Cabinet Office unit headed by Professor Jim Norton set to work to devise a new legislative framework for the emerging world of e-commerce and online communications. The main result of his labour was the Electronic Commerce Bill. As that Bill went through its Parliamentary hoops, it became clear that some parts of it - mainly the sections dealing with data encryption, interception and surveillance - were so deeply flawed that they threatened to sink the Bill. Given the Government's desire to make headway on the e-commerce front, the problematic sections were eventually jettisoned and the Electronic Commerce Bill became law in 1999. It was a smart decision, but it left unresolved the problem of what to do about the encryption stuff. The DTI, smarting from its bruising at the hands of the computer scientists who had comprehensively shredded the original encryption proposals, wanted nothing more to do with it. Accordingly the poisoned chalice passed to the Home Office, which knows little of business and even less about the internet, but is endlessly attentive to the needs of the police, the security services and the Byzantine imperatives of official secrecy. The RIP Bill is the fruit of that secretive bureaucratic milieu. The official rationale for the legislation is that it is required to bring UK law into conformance with the European Convention on Human Rights. In the end, this will have to be tested in the courts, but Straw's confidence is not shared by the Commons Trade Industry Select Committee which last October recommended that the Government publish a detailed analysis to substantiate its confidence that the Bill does not contravene the Convention. This the Government has so far declined to do. The Bill has four main parts. The first deals with the interception of communications. the second covers 'surveillance and covert human intelligence sources'. The third tackles encryption and the fourth covers the 'scrutiny of investigatory powers and of the functions of the intelligence services'. Parts I to III propose massive extensions of the state's powers to spy on its citizens while the fourth suggests a regulatory regime which seems laughably inadequate to anyone familiar with internet technology. All sections of the Bill have been heavily criticised by external experts and a small number of committed MPs, but the legislation has passed through its Commons scrutiny with its central provisions intact. Part I gives the Home Secretary the power to issue a warrant requiring ISPs to intercept the communications of one or more of their subscribers. The problem is that the internet is not like the telephone system - where

day for it.
I actually pulled this (almost) verbatim from Amateur Radio the official
organ of the Wireless Institute of Australia. It pretty much encapsulates my
attitude toward pathogenic code.
Regrettably my employer has not yet discovered the 8F's of Linux (Free, Fun,
Fortified, Faultless, Friendly, Fashionable, Fair, Fundamental)
but I know people are working tirelessly at this. (Cheers Terry)
I'm pretty much still a newbie at ax25 but I've got my 2.2.12-20/soundmodem
up and monitoring packets on my local BBS. Anyone who can help me with the
pinouts for a Philips FM900 mic socket will save me a lot of work
Anyone doing any SSTV with linux?

VIRUS WARNING
If you receive an e-mail entitled "crazy times" DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY
AND
DO NOT OPEN IT!!! Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not
only
erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete
everything on
disks within 20 metres of your computer. It demagnetises the stripes
on
all your credit cards.
It reprograms your ATM access code, messes up the tracking on your VCR
and
uses sub-space field harmonics to scratch any CDs you attempt to play
or
use. It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all
your ice-cream melts and your milk freezes. It will reprogram your
phone
autodial to call only your mother-in-law's number.
This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank, drink all your
beer,
leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you expecting company and
it's
radioactive emissions will cause your toe jam and belly button fluff
to
migrate behind your ears.
It's molecular reconstruction capabilities will cause your shampoo to
become depilatory and your depilatory to become napalm and your
cologne or
perfume to smell like dill pickles, all this while it will be dating
your
current partner behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to
your Visa card. It will cause you to run with scissors and throw
things in
such a way that is only fun until someone loses an eye. It will give
you
cancer of the season ticket and Dutch Elm Disease.
It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to
passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings that grossly
change the interpretations of key sentences.
If the "Crazy Times" message is opened in a Windows 95 environment, it
will leave the toilet seat up and your hair drier pugged in
dangerously
close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the tags from all
your
mattresses pillows and towels but also refill your skim milk with
whole
milk and replace all your luncheon meat with Spam.
It is insidious and subtle.
It is dangerous and quite bloody terrifying.
It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.
