Re: [Scottish] Certification Centres
Hello Ben, Thursday, 06 February 2003, you wrote: BT OK, without getting into a big discussion on the merits of getting Linux BT certification, I was wondering if anyone knew of a (preferably BT central-belt) training centre where I could take the Linux Professional BT Institute exams, without have to take (and pay through the nose for) a big BT training course. I just want to pay for and sit the exams. I check into that late last year, and there is a testing centre in Dunfermline, VUE I think it was... I just called the enquiries number on their website.

Re: [Scottish] Certification Centres
Thanks for all the replies - I had a look at the VUE website (now I remember that I had been before, but the training centre locator was not working that day) and discovered that, among a couple of other places, Cardonald College in the centre of Glasgow does the exams, so I'll be going down that route I think.

I use any winbond 6992 based card just fine, eg Sitecom - although the card now listed on their site looks different to the ones I've bought in the past! Don't use an external TA, the ISDN subsytem is great, and I think the throughput will be slightly better with a PCI card.

I used to work there - they were big on Microsoft - tried to convert to the one true path to enlightenment - looks like I might have succeeded after all!

[Scottish] Re: ISDN stuff
I've used several (ta ebay) BT Speedway cards of the hisax flavour OK However - has anyone played with compression under debian? I did have this working a while ago on demon/HomeHighway but can't remember what I did. (I know that I needed stac9 in the demon end. The module used to be good for mail / usenet downloads - could get about 14k peak off a single channel, but every now n then would hang while it reset itself with a flurry of errors to syslog. Anyone used a more recent implementation? have any tips.. Ta, Andrew ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
