[SLUG] bigpond cable modem and any old DHCP client?
Hello list! Does anyone have experience with BigPond cable? Specifically, is it possible to use the SB-5101 modem and plug in a DHCP-client wireless router on the ethernet side, or does BigPond still require a custom login tool running on the client? The whirlpool forums are fuzzy at best, and I'd like to know if anyone can give a definitive yes that will work versus no, that won't. Why? It might be cheaper to use an existing wireless router, or easier to maintain a linux PC as a router, than purchase the all-in-one SBG-900 cable modem + wireless router with a new plan.

Re: [SLUG] Adding text to a postscript file
Hi all
It's hard to do this in postscript. I know a LaTeX way though.
You said it was from a PDF. Use the PDF directly.
Include it into a latex doc (myfile.tex) using \includepdf
then write over the top of it using a picture environment
to get an exact placement for your text.
When you run pdflatex myfile.tex you will get a file myfile.pdf
that will contain the ticket and your text.
Below is the latex doc to use.
% Run this as pdflatex myfile.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages={1,2}]{some.pdf}
% Now place your text.
\begin{picture}(0,0)
\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}
\put(1,2){Your text}
\put(1,4){More text}
\end{picture}
\end{document}
If you need help with this I can do a run for you as a test.

Re: [SLUG] hardware for Asterisk server - Digium TDM400P, X100P FXO??

That TDM400P doesn't work with earlier PCI specs - ie. no old hardware as the server - been there, done that, got the scars... Another question - a normal modem (onboard or external) *can't* be used with Asterisk - right? My understanding is you need a device that offers XFO capabilities, but I just want to be 100% sure before giving the NGO a definite 'no' to using normal modems and having to buy a new device. -- Sonia Hamilton blog: http://SoniaHamilton.wordpress.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Most routers support Bigpond and will advertise support for BPA, Bigpond, or Heartbeat. Make sure you restart the modem after plugging in the router as I think it's like Optus where it locks onto the first MAC address it sees on the LAN side -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Does anyone have experience with BigPond cable? Specifically, is it possible to use the SB-5101 modem and plug in a DHCP-client wireless router on the ethernet side, or does BigPond still require a custom login tool running on the client? You no longer require any type of login/heartbeat client to connect to BP Cable.

Yep, as Alex suggested, a HTTP redirect is what you need.
Because you said that if you navigate via either domain you get the same
site, you're most likely not using virtual hosts, so you can use
mod_rewrite to acheive the redirect:
httpd.conf:
IfModule !mod_rewrite.c
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
/IfModule
IfModule mod_rewrite.c
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
/IfModule
Note: I didn't test the above, so your mileage may vary.
