[SLUG] Book Authoring Software

[SLUG] Wireless Mouse keyboard Combo's and Webcam's
Hi I am on the market looking for a wireless keyboard mouse combo pack. I have noticed that logitech seem to a lot of the market, I have also seen that there are a lot of extra keys on the keypads and they come in flavours of bluetooth and wireless/usb. How weary should I be of the extra keys and the extra functionality, it would be nice to link the mail button to mutt etc how easy is it to do. Just asking to get people opinion and maybe some advise on the pitfalls to avoid. The other item I am on the market for is a good web cam for video conferencing, any one care to share their experiences ?

Tigger used to do proxying at the HTTP layer, where it was looking at the HOST: field of the HTTP request - there can be lots of different HOST: fields. You've already described the solution you had on the past: Tigger obviously knows how to do the right proxying. Just get your router to point to Tigger (or some similarly configured HTTP proxy, if Tigger doesn't do what Tiggers do best any more) and everything should be fine. blush after reading this 10 times I still am not sure what this means ...

Yep, Penedo said what I meant, but better. You've already mentioned that Tigger used to handle the proxying that you want, and you've mentioned that the router is forwarding all traffic that comes in to port 80 to a specified IP/Port. If you change the IP that the router forwards the traffic to to be Tigger, it should then perform the proxying as it did before (you may need to mess with its networking a bit so it has correct routes etc), and you'll have your virtual hosts working again.

Yes I know that. But there is something called T.38 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.38) which sounds like some standard to send Fax over IP between two T.38 devices, and I was wondering whether I can have some sort of a bridge which will allow me to do: PSTN-Fax - fax-to-T.38 plug - FoIP line to bridge - PSTN line - PSTN fax so it might help me send and receive faxes over the Internet using my regular HP PSC 2400 all-in-one box. T.38 needs to be implemented right through the VoIP path (ie: the ATA/Voice gateway, the SIP/H.323 boxes etc) Even then, it's a nasty piece of work to get right.

You shouldn't need to do it manually, and really shouldn't strictly need it in /etc/modules. X will prompt the module loading mechanisms for it when it needs it.
