Not receiving mailing lists
For the last 2 days I have not received any mail from the mailing lists. Is there a problem or is it on my end? Bryan

It looks like your mail gateway was down for three days. The error counter wasn't supposed to disable the address but it looks like it did, so I reset it. -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 23 00:52:48 crater sendmail[91334]: l1N8o6ga091309: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=00:02:36, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=603478, relay=smtp-gateway.wi nbeam.com.

Re: Cable internet
David Cuthbert wrote: Bryan Berch wrote: It is about I get rid of dial-up and get something faster. My only other choice is Comcast broadband. My questions are: 1. Has any one used it and is it worth it? 2. What cable modem did you use? I've been using it for ~3 years now. I've had two major issues during that time: 1. At one point, a crew was doing some work in my neighborhood (back when I was in Pittsburgh) and attached a filter to the wrong line (mine). 2. This February, a storm blew through the island (I'm now near Seattle) and took power out for five days. (Comcast, to their credit, brought in generators to power their neighborhood relays after two days... alas, didn't help me much.) These incidents aside, availability for me has been closer to 99.9% than 99%. Their policies seem reasonable. They'll get on your case if you start serving a lot of traffic, from what I understand. Many of us at work run personal servers (ssh, webmail, etc.) and haven't heard a peep from them. Stay out of their hair, they'll stay out of yours. I thought they were blocking outbound SMTP connections, but this does not appear to be the case right now. At any rate, don't expect to have your mail accepted by anyone if you bypass their SMTP servers (the entire netblock is RBLed, and with good reason). I haven't touched Usenet in years, so I can't comment on their news servers. My experience with DSL was less than pleasant. Verizon had the oddest routes, and probably borderline 99% availability. North Pittsburgh Telephone (sigh) was down around 95%. Getting a reliable connection anywhere was an adventure. So as long as you get a ethernet cable modem there should be no problem connecting? Is there any thing special in configuring it to work with dragonfly or is it just dhcp?

external usb hard drive
I got a usb external hard drive that is 160 gb, but I can not mount it. I get the error too big sorry. I can mount it in FreeBsd 6.1 by adding the following option in my custom kernel. option MSDOSFS_LARGE I didn't find that option in DragonFlyBSD LINT. Is it there and I missed it or is there another way to mount it. I don't really want to repartition the drive. Any help greatly appreciated. Bryan
printing problem
I did a fresh install of 1.6, then moved to preview, on a box that was running 1.2. I set up printing the same as was on 1.2, but no printing will occur. My /etc/printcap: lp|LaserJet|lj|LJ|lj|line|:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :af=/etc/foomatic/HP-LaserJet_1320-hpijs.ppd:\ :if=/usr/pkg/bin/foomatic-rip:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/LaserJet:\ :lf=/var/log/LaserJet.log:\ The error message is: lp: cannot execv(/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip): No file or directory Any help greatly appreciated Bryan
Re: printing problem
I installed /usr/pkgsrc/print/hpijs, as I have done before, then moved foomatic -rip and the filter file, /ppd/HP-LaserJet_1320-hpijs.ppd.gz, from the work directory and to printcap where to find them. This has always worked in FreeBSD and up to DragonFlyBSD 1.2. The print/hpijs, as far as I can tell, never has installed foomatic-filters. walt wrote: Bryan Berch wrote: The error message is: lp: cannot execv(/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip): No file or directory foomatic-rip is part of the foomatic-filters package. Do you have that installed?

Can any one give me a good choice in a wireless network card for my desktop box or is there a better way to do it? If the network card route is fine, can there be an antenna located in a central location in the house using a cable from the network card and to the antenna? I'm new to wireless and any suggestions appreciated. Bryan Don't know if this matters, but I I use dial-up for internet connection.
