Re: Verizon PC5740 card (Curitel Communications) wireless WAN card

[Obi Okeke]

Chris, I haven't tried it yet on my OpenBSD 3.8 Dell
laptop, but there is a write up about using it with
Linux
(http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/03/08/2138237)
so perhaps it can be used on OpenBSD via the linux
emulation?

 Dear Misc,
 
 OK The thinkpad X40 now works. Thunderbird has a few
 issues, but I'll 
 address that separately when I have the time.
 
 My question today is: Has anyone gotten the Verizon
 PC5740 card to work 
 with OpenBSD? It shows up as a umodem. I'm not sure
 how exactly to use 
 it though. I tried: tip umodem, tip tty00, tip
 tty01, and a few other 
 tips which are probably even stupider.
 
 dmesg attached.

 PS. Man I really love this X40!

Re: OpenBSD for a desktop environment ?

[Obi Okeke]

Hi Bruno,
I use OpenBSD 3.8 as my work desktop and it is
extremely smooth and a terrific experience.  I'd used
Linux and then FreeBSD for years, but setting up X was
the easiest ever and I have not had a single glitch of
any sort yet (that wasn't due to my own ignorance).  I
run Fluxbox on my 3 yr old Dell, and use Ogle to watch
dvds, opera w/ flash or firefox w/ java to browse the
web.  I also use Kate/Koffice to do word processing,
Perl for development, etc.  I also use a wireless nic,
burn cd's, and even configured my laptop to be a
(rarely used) print and file server for other
Windows/Linux boxes using OpenBSD.  Unfortunately, I
have to occassionaly use a custom Windows app, Lotus
Notes and support another sys admin who uses Linux and
so I've set up a separate Linux machine running
CrossOver Office and I just connect to that Linux box
using Xwindows forwarded over SSH or straight SSH when
I have to.  I also strongly believe using OpenBSD all
of the time now has made me a better Sys Admin
(although I am still learning) and is making the use
and administration of OpenBSD second-nature.

 I'd like to know if someone tried to build a desktop

 KDE. Is it hard ?
 What's your feedback ?

1) Just an fyi, I have a few boxes Oracle 9iR2 running

 in other words, you're going to need something in

to add a layer of security. Snort 2 has support for
filtering/blocking specific sql statements, etc. and
is a terrific way to add a powerful layer of security.
