Why is ISA modem cost more than PCI modem??
Because the ISA modem contains a processor for decoding and encoding analog
signal. A PCI modem uses software to use CPU to decoding and encoding. The
software is cheaper that the hardware, but the hardware modem puts less work
on the system, so that you get better CPU performance.

Subject: SMC 1211 Network Card - Problems with Kernel 2.4
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 02:59:10 GMT
Hi,
I just compiled the 2.4 kernel under Mandrake 7.2...
Everything worked great (I thought)... No error messages or anything when
compiling...
On booting, however, with the new 2.4 kernel I noticed that eth0 failed,
which suggests that my network card was incorrectly selected when I set up
the new kernel.
My question is, which card should I select, that supports the SMC 1211, when
setting this kernel up?
Thank you for any help... =)
Note: Please send a copy of any replies to - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks again!

I'm assuming your card is otherwise up and running.
Find the file named "asound.conf". Most likely in "/etc".
Look for an entry:
switch("S/PDIF MixerOut",true) .
It either may say "false" instead of "true", or it may not exist.

I've looked around a bit and can't find a definitive answer to the
following.
What graphic tablet can I easily use to drive gimp with a vanilla kernel
2.2.14 (without using IR or USB) i.e. serial or PS2 connection. The
wacom stuff seems to be most talked about and I'm aware there are
modules for driving XF86 but is it a doddle ? Basically I don't want to
spend the money on one if I can only use it in Windows like my bloody
scanner !!
Any specific model recommendations much appreciated.

I would recommend install Mandrake 7.1 now for the evaluation and find out the
problems. (I am a RH6.2 user but Mandrake has a slightly newer kernel).

Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 12:41:40 GMT
I have follow the linux for video debate for some time without being any
wiser as to which video card to choose for the new PCs I am building.
Ditto for sound.
I want 16/32M AGP graphics with good 3D performance, a TV tuner (I guess
this needs a BT848 or similar), realtime video capture playback (some
form of MPEG compression?). I don't need Linux support for the TV or
Video right away so long as it's in the pipeline. Am I expecting too
much from one card? Am I better off buying a graphics card and a
seperate TV/Video card - if so which?
I am aware that some graphics card manufacturers have been hostile, or
less than helpful, to the open source community and I would prefer not
to buy their products, given a choice.
Regarding sound cards, most of the advice I have received points to the
sound blaster awe64 or such. What of the SoundBlaster Live! value or
quality clones.
All advice gratefully received.

I'm about to get an ultra-small laptop --- basically as small as
possible provided I can still type on it (the libretto is out!). Are
there any known problems with any of the standard choices.
The Sony Viao looks like a nice machine. Will I have any problems
with Linux? (I understand Sony's support is terrible, and I have to
decide if I want to take a chance.)
The other option is the Toshiba portege. Not quite as nice as the
Viao, but probably much more reliable, and certainly better service.
Again, will I have any problems with Linux?
Have I missed any good options?
Thanks for any tips you can offer.

Hi,
with the new kernel 2.2.12 my Ensoniq Vivo90 produces strange cracks
each time I play sound. These cracks are similar to the sounds isapnp
makes when detecting the card. I am now using the PnP Bios; is that
perhaps the reason for the noise?

Hi, folks,
Hi,
Here's my story:
I've been trying to connect 2 machines together, using 2 ISA cards
(second hand no-warranty trash, really, There's "Intel EtherExpress 16TP"
printed on each of them) directly connected to each other via RJ45 jacks.
Not all cards are able to work without a HUB, I don't know if the EtherExpress
does.When you connect the cards without a HUB, you have to use a crossover cable,
not a straight through !!

some parts are cutted
..
/sbin/route add -host 192.168.1.2 eth0
That is not neccessary, remove this route and start routed. It will do the things
fine for you. Be sure that the netmask is seted to 0xff.ff.ff.00
"No route to host" error (tried telnet, ftp). Why?
I see the route with /sbin/route, why no route?
Are the routes fine on both hosts ?
The real question I have- How could I find out that NICs are
functional? I never saw a single blink of their LEDs.
There're 2 LED on both cards, one on each card is always on, the other is
always off.
Usualy one is link, the other traffic. No light

How old is your CD-ROM drive? I don't think many, if any, can read
a CD-RW disk created in a CD-RW drive. If you make a CD-R disk, then
I would think you should have very few problems unless you have a really
old CD-ROM drive. I have made several music CD's and they have played
in CD players several years old. I think it has something to do with
the reflectivity of the dyes used to make the CD-RW disks.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a HP dj400c printer and had a bit of time getting it to print
other than ascii. I had 3 configuration problems:
1) I didn't have ghostscript installed.
2) I was using the HP 400/500/ printer driver that came with my
RH5.1 edition (what a mistake!)
3) I also neglected to edit my /etc/printcap file to point to the
new/correct driver I downloaded (magicfilter-1.2)
Note: I used the printtool utility which automatically writes my
/etc/printcap file.
Anyway, I took care of all 3 of these problems and I can now print from
any appilication in Linux.
Hopes this helps.
