 ...some advice, or some hardware for sale?

 Looking at buying a _cheap_ Palm - can stretch to a Zire (£80), but not
 much more than that. However, the Zire is only 2Mb, whereas methinks 8Mb
 would be preferable. Looked also at the Sony Clie PEG-SL10, but they seem
 quite hard to get hold of now. Other options would be a Handspring Visor,
 or a Palm M10, if I can find one cheap enough.

 So - does anyone have any preferences/suggestions on which to get, where
 to buy, or (better still) is anyone looking to sell some such gadget for
 a good price?

I just bought myself a Dell Axim a couple of weeks ago, and subsequently am
thinking of selling both my Palm Vx and Sony Clie PEG-N770C - I've yet to
settle on a price :)  The Vx has been well-used and has taken a few dings
and scratches, but still works perfectly - the Clie is in good condition and
again works perfectly.

I know it's twice your price but the Handspring Treo might be worth considering for it's combination of phone and organiser

  Would anyone with a decent connection be kind enough to burn a few CDs
  for those of us who are stuck in dial-up land? (Beer and/or pennies will
  chase after said benevolent person.) If necessary I'm willing to give
  out my MandrakeClub login details (only to one person) so you get access
  to a decent server.

 I wonder if it's worth setting up a tombstones[1] type page where people
 who are willing to burn off cds and dvds for people can say so, and what
 they're willing to work for (beer/materials/costs), and people looking for
 discs due to narrowband access or whatever can get in touch and say here's
 beer/materials/costs, can i have $distro on $media.  I know I'd be able to
 do DVD-Rs without *too* much fuss ...

I should have mandrake 9.1 delivered tomorrow, a freind downloaded it for me, 
happy to burn copies if someone send me 3 discs and return postage.

[Scottish] Acaltel Speedtouch 330 USB

2003-03-28 Thread Phil Deane
Hi folks

A friend wants to try Linux, and I want to convert him :) He has installed 
Mandrake 9.1 and is using the above modem, but it does not seem to be 
working, he is living up in Aberdeen, so I can't go round and play :)

We installed the drivers, and tried the commands and it says it is connected, 
but nothing happens, it pretty much freezes his system, 

he is using Pipex as the ISP, has anyone here got the above modem working 
under Linux? and can offer any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance
