I was recently checking the Surfree's forums and I saw an interesting message called "Bezeq is fooling you" at the programming forums. It talks about bezeq spliting the phone lines to save money (ONE+ONE). It does not matter with voice but it is a mess when you try to pass data with those phones. That is the reason why in some houses the internet is ALWAYS so slow. It has nothing to dowith isp or modem or computer... just bezeq. I cannot post it since it's hebrew sicnce I dont think most of you could read it This is *old*. Bezeq has been doing this for ages. It is also based on a misunderstanding. In fact, when you use a phone line, you just use 3.1kHz of bandwidth. This is all that's needed for voice, and for regular modems. Even a 56k modem squeezes everything into this 3.1kHz of bandwidth. Therefore, if Bezeq uses a splitter, you can pass 2 or more phone calls over one physical pair of wires -- every channel gets its own 3.1kHz. For modem communications, this doesn't hurt you, and is completely transparent. ADSL, OTOH, won't work with this, as the whole point of ADSL is to use the rest of the bandwidth of the copper wire. If you get low modem connection speeds (check the modem's "carrier" message after the connect), it is ususally because you pass several "merkaziyot" on the way.

LDAP NSS modules seem to be a really nice solution, also for
distribution of other tables (hosts etc.). - but I haven't yet
found a good description of what LDAP does for me, despite the hype.
All I've read by now is some mixup of terms and ideas of a world-wide
information repository. Comparing to the flat table structure
of an SQL server, this really looks non-trivial ...
Actually, it's quite simple. Certainly not more complicated than SQL.
What LDAP gives you and an SQL db doesn't is a hierarchical model (such as
by units in an organization). It also gives you a standard model of defining
users, groups and whatever not.
Incidentally, LDAP data could be stored in an SQL database -- LDAP is just
the way you access it.
The "world-wide" repository idea, while it was nice, is usually ignored, and
every organization sets up its own internal tree based on its organizational
name (o=mycompany, c=US) or DNS name (such as dc=mycompany, dc=com). Inside
the company, you're free to create whatever tree you like.
As to the user/group etc. objects themselves, see RFC 2307 ("An Approach for
Using LDAP as a Network Information Service") for details.
To get it working, all you need is a working LDAP server (such as OpenLDAP)
and a correctly configured nss_ldap (included in most recent Linux distros,
or see www.padl.com).

hungry I am, or how much I like McDonalds.
Neither will I. Never. A company that serves non-kosher food just for
the purpose of it isn't going to see any revenue from me. So, at least
we agree on something ;-)
I will try to avoid going into a
kosher restaurant altogether if I have a choice. Other people have other
rules (see http://www.hofesh.org.il for some other examples) some are much
stricter than I am.
Just a few words about this 'religious' war. Notice that neither Moshe nor I
said anything bad about the religious people's freedom to choose their
restaurants. On the other hand, a large group tried to condemn Moshe for
doing this exact same thing. Man, this country needs a HUKA...
I think the point of disagreement is very simple: Religious people
follow specific rules for a *reason* (whether good or not is not the
issue).
Trying to create an artificial "Anti-religion" -- just to do the
opposite of what religous people do -- out of principle ("davka") is
something different altogether.
Anyway, let's move this discussion to some other place.

That's why originally a subnet was specified as a full 32-bit AND mask. In practice this was hardly ever used, so with the move to CIDR addressing the original notation was abandoned.

Mgetty+sendfax is very easy to set up for sending and receiving faxes on your Linux box, it can also use multiple modems if you want. The only problematic point is in getting the faxes from Windows to the Linux box. After trying a few solutions, we have settled on the "Windows Mgetty Client", which is an lpr client running on the Windows machine that intercepts Windows printing requests and sends them to any Unix/Linux box via the LPD protocol. The Windows machine needs this client, plus a regular PostScript driver. Please note that the default Windows PS driver somtimes creates nonstandard PS, on which Ghostscript (on the Linux box) chokes. Therefore, I advise you to download the Adobe PS driver (from Adobe's website). With all these parts in place, it works perfectly. Also, I shouldn't forget, the Windows Mgetty Client asks the server to send you an email upon successful/unsuccessful transmission of the fax. This way you always know if your fax was received.

It was meant for mounting a hard disk partition "over" a CD-ROM, so that you could "write" to the CD-ROM. This way, you didn't have to copy over the whole CD if you wanted to make changes. However, this drivers seems to have died quite a while ago...

I'm trying to make some complex scripting with my caller ID modem on my linux box... Well, mgetty and vgetty only work with Class 2 modems. This is by design. Class 1 modems try to implement all the low-level protocols in software. This is basically a real-time operation. A multitasking OS such as Linux is by definition not real time (without special extensions), so a Class 1 implementation will raise the CPU load to pretty high levels. This is basically the same concept as Winmodems vs. real ones. Try to get a Class 2 modem -- they're not that expensive, although they may be hard to get by these days. Vgetty works like a charm with these modems. I find it hard to believe you'll find software that works with Class 1 modems on Unix/Linux. BTW -- if it's an option for you, get an ISDN line and card. ISDN cards can do voice, and have crystal-clear quality. Linux supports voice with ISDN cards, but you'll have to check which cards are supported.

Aharon, Any Palm you'll buy will work fine with Linux. The basic tool for connecting your Palm with Linux is 'pilot-tools', which includes command-line utilities that'll allow you to back up your Palm, install software, sync address book / datebook etc. If you want a GUI utility which will allow you to sync with other software, such as Plan, and do some more generally nice stuff, I recommend PilotManager. There are some more graphical Palm utilities around, but I've found PilotManager to be the best. About running Linux on your Palm -- it's possible if you have 8MB of memory. However, I don't think it currently does much more that boot. See http://www.uclinux.org for details. About what Palm to buy -- I have a Palm III with 2MB of memory. I've never been low on memory, and I think I'm quite a heavy user. However, if you plan to carry many ebooks, manuals etc. on your Palm, you'll want more than that. I wouldn't really recommend the Palm V -- it's very nice, but I don't like the idea of not being able to carry spare batteries. I also find it hard to justify its price. I think a Palm IIIx with NiMH batteries is the best solution. Actually, maybe the best solution is not to buy a Palm at all, but to get a Visor instead -- both cheaper and more powerful, and fully Palm-compatible. See http://www.handspring.com .

OT: Routing problem
Hi routing experts out there, I'd like your comments on a routing problem at our site. We have a SifraNet line running to our ISP (Barak), and a FR line as backup. For outgoing traffic, our Cisco router utilizes the two lines equally, as it should. However, for incoming traffic only the SifraNet line gets used, and the FR is totally ignored. Only when the SifraNet is down for some reason, the FR gets used for incoming packets ad well. After talking to our ISP, they claim that it's impossible for them to route packets to us on the two lines simultaneously, unless we set up dynamic routing using EIGRP on our router. This may well be true, if not for the fact that it actually worked for a few months: Packets came in on both interfaces simultaneously. Barak claimed this 'impossible', and were sure out data (gathered with MRTG) is mistaken. I find that hard to believe. So: Is the scheme we want possible? If so, what exactly is needed on behalf of our router? If it's not possible, how come it did work for a while? Any pointers to info will be appreciated.
